Enduring Aella

Hanah is reeling after the death of her mother, a renowned advocate for synthetic human rights. Blaming the synth community for her loss, she seeks a fresh start on Aella, a colony planet free of invasive technology. She was promised paradise, but when a row of broken life pods strands her on a deserted alien island, she and her fellow castaways will be lucky to survive. To Hanah's dismay, the eclectic group must rely on AERN, the ship's emergency response android, to survive. Forced to confront her prejudices-and the realities of her mother's death-Hanah's journey becomes a poignant exploration of grief, redemption, and what it means to be human.
