Sil has dreamed of this her whole life so it's no surprise when she volunteers as captain, along with Eliza, Axel and her childhood best friend Tarquin.
While investigating the planet, a sandstorm catches them unawares so they hide in a cave for safety, but end up discovering secrets that could just make or break their mission. Confusion, betrayal, friendship, all lead to this one point, but in the end:
A sacrifice has to be made.

Black Star: Odyssey Beyond Infinity
I... was an enemy of humanity, and somehow, humanity is the enemy of mine. --- Or rather, they thrust me into the whirlwind of accountability for a mistake, a disaster, that pushed us beyond the borders of Earth to "save the human race" yet again, as we had probably stained the great humans' great intentions, and great reputation. As I soared into the exhilarating vastness of space, embraced by dazzling stars and swirling galaxies, I had uncovered a haunting truth - one that reshaped everything I thought I knew, unfolding the mysteries of the universe and my very existence. It was the 23rd century, the world was supposed to reflect a Golden Age, but nothing could be perfect... --- Highest rankings: 3rd in Betray
Out of the Shadows
Alexandra Dalton lives in a crumbling post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by The Enforcement and terrorized by the Legacies, power-wielding humans corrupted by their abilities. But when a deadly encounter thrusts her into the heart of a war for humanity's survival, secrets of her father's past begin to surface, forcing her to choose: fight for the light or be consumed by the darkness. In a world where entire cities can burn in minutes, and nobody can truly be trusted, can she protect her mother and sister-and uncover the truth before it's too late? Excerpt: "Dad?" My voice was no more than a whisper. The tendril caught the woman just as she was about to hit the ground, and in one harsh movement, it tugged her into the darkness. The blackness engulfed her screams, swallowing them completely. I could feel my father pulling on my wrist. His grip was so tight it hurt. Everywhere around me, people were dying. Their shrieks echoed in my ears, and I couldn't seem to move. My hands started to shake as I looked toward the dark sky. The silhouettes of bodies in the air, lit eerily by the theme park's neon colors, littered the sky like stars. This wasn't just chaos-it was the end of everything we knew. Chapters released weekly!

The catch is, you can't fall for his son because it isn't apart of the deal. But love has a funny way of doing the opposite of what the world tells you to do. "Would you do it for me?" I ask. "Sure, anything for my lawyer and I understand why you are mad, I would too after being disrespected in that manner." he answers and I chuckle. "Ooh, now I have an overprotective client, lucky me."
