Testing Pandora
In the far future, genetic engineering is used to strip all sapient species of disability. But when humans have a brief fad of natural birth, disabled children start reappearing. They're quickly termed "Pandoras," the value of their very lives brought into question, and laws are put into place to prevent their births from happening ever again. Xandri Corelel is one of these Pandoras, a young autistic woman scorned by her family and fighting to eke out a living on the streets of Wraith. Then she meets Chui Shan Fung, captain of the first contact and refugee ship Carpathia. Captain Chui has been watching her, and knows about the talent for understanding alien species that Xandri has cultivated. She wants Xandri as part of her crew--but first, Xandri must pass a test to see if she'll even fit in. Wary but hopeful, Xandri joins the Carpathia at Psittaca, a newly-discovered planet peopled by parrot-like sapients. Learning to understand this new species is the easy part compared to trusting her new crew mates. As Xandri continues her diplomatic efforts with the Psittacans, it becomes apparent that the Carpathia's crew aren't the only ones to have discovered the planet, but these other visitors don't have good intentions. In order to protect this beautiful new world, Xandri must find it in herself to overcome years of abuse and neglect, and trust in her new crew.Complete

Unknown Horizons
Second Contact: War of the Deep Valley The war for survival was only the beginning. Months after the crash of the Ardent Dawn, Commander Mizuno Kaede and her surviving crew have built a fragile foothold on the uncharted planet known as Zion - a world eerily similar to Earth, yet filled with ancient secrets buried beneath its emerald skies. When contact is made - not with rescue ships, but with a new alien civilization - everything changes. The species that emerges from the Deep Valley of Ocean Bay are not the mindless predators the squad expected. They are the Ael'thari - a long-lived, tribal people whose lifespans stretch across centuries. Their warriors fight with precision older than human memory; their seers speak in voices that seem to echo through time itself. At first, Mizuno seeks peace. But peace comes at a cost. A human scouting team vanishes near the valley. Diplomatic envoys return in silence. Then the skies burn - tracer fire over the ocean, flames reflected in the waves - and the Second Contact War begins. Now Mizuno stands at the center of a conflict neither side truly understands. Her orders are clear: secure Zion, eliminate threats, ensure human survival. But as the war deepens, she uncovers truths that defy her command and challenge her loyalty. The Ael'thari are not fighting for conquest - they're fighting for memory, for the right to exist against a species that cannot comprehend time the way they do. With her Shadow Squad fractured, alliances shifting, and her own command questioned, Mizuno must choose between following Earth's protocol - or following her conscience. Because on Zion, survival is not about who wins the war... ...it's about who remembers it first.

Avatar: The Return of The Songbirds
Looking back on the past holds nothing but pain and heartache for me and my family now. We were once a part of the beautiful Tìk'nui clan, but my people were better known as the songbird clan. We were neighbors to all and to no one at the same time, virtually unseen by most due to our innate ability for staying hidden in plain sight. I do believe that the only reason we were known by other clans at all was due to us singing the songs of our ancestors every night. We kept ourselves buried deep within the trees of the forest, and hunting was really the only time we would leave the comforts of the tree tops. Our home's and walkways were all built on top of tree branches and reinforced by the tree bark of our Kelutral...our home tree. Our home tree was mighty. She was the center of our village. Everything we were was structured around her. We lived in what most would call a paradise. We were relaxed and simple people. Family oriented and caring. We were never violent...but that all changed the day they arrived.Complete
