When humanity's thirst for exploration leads them to a distant, uncharted world, they unwittingly awaken ancient forces beyond their understanding. The lush, glowing planet, sacred to an advanced alien race, harbors secrets as old as the stars-secrets fiercely protected by those who revere it.

Nila Rhodes, a daring and adaptable explorer, finds herself at the heart of an interstellar conflict after her expedition trespasses on this spiritual site. Stranded and cut off from Earth, Nila must navigate cryptic alien warnings, the planet's living defenses, and the growing tension between two civilizations.

On Earth, leaders grapple with the weight of first contact, torn between diplomacy and survival. But as the aliens extend a hand of communication, it becomes clear their motives are not what they seem.

Caught between ambition and understanding, Nila faces a choice that could either unite the galaxy-or plunge it into war.

A tale of discovery, humanity, and the thin line between curiosity and hubris, Echoes of the Unknown explores what happens when we reach beyond the stars and encounter the echoes of a past we were never meant to disturb.

Echoes Of Survival by leya1akay
49 parts Complete Mature
After years of drifting in the vastness of space aboard the Arc, humanity's last refuge is on the brink of collapse. The oxygen supply is dwindling, and with no other options left, a desperate decision is made: to return to Earth-a planet long abandoned after a cataclysmic solar apocalypse scorched its surface and altered its environment forever. A small group of survivors, led by former officers, scientists, and civilians, descend to Earth, each bringing unique skills and haunted pasts. They find a world both familiar and terrifyingly new. The sun's relentless radiation has twisted the landscape into something wild and unpredictable, while the remnants of humanity, now known as "grounders," have adapted in brutal ways to survive. Thrown into this unforgiving world, the group must navigate the dangers of their new home, from violent grounder tribes who see them as invaders to the scorched earth that seems intent on swallowing them whole. They face limited resources, hostile terrain, and their own inner demons as they fight not only to survive, but to build a future on this desolate planet. With tensions rising, secrets from the Arc threaten to tear the group apart just when they need unity the most. In the chaos of survival, they must decide what kind of world they will build amidst the echoes of the past-and whether they can hold onto their humanity in the process. Echoes of Survival is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the relentless will to live in a world where everything is fighting to keep you down.

Kalli wants to make her own decisions, something that's frowned upon when you're a young lady of noble birth in the Imkan Empire. She's thrilled when she manages to enroll in the local University's astrophysics program; it's her first step towards independence. Her studies lead her to make friends with the Cirts, a group of outcasts who share her love of science. Kalli knows that if her father ever finds out that she's risking the family's good name he'll marry her off to an older Count, someone her father can trust to keep Kalli under control, by force if necessary. Kalli catches the eye of the Crown Prince and society expects her to be flattered by the attention. Instead, she sees the Prince as a self-centered prig and calls him out on it, to his face. Kalli's contrary nature and honesty fascinate the Prince and he pursues her. Even as Kalli struggles for independence her proximity to the Prince draws her into Imperial politics and the tension between the Emperor and the Cirts. Now the girl who wanted to make all of her own decisions is going to have to decide if her new friends are worth opposing the Emperor. Because people who oppose the Emperor usually end up dead.
