Code Solvara - Book I : Revelation

Humanity was never meant to last forever.
Earth was not a cradle-it was a containment. A sealed fragment of a far greater world, given to a broken branch of an ancient species and watched in silence for millennia. Humans were allowed to grow, to build, to choose their own path.
They were given time.
That time has now ended.
When the sky opens above a schoolyard, twenty ordinary students are taken not as prisoners-but as evidence. Torn from their lives and delivered to Solvara, they learn the truth their world was never meant to know: humanity stands on trial.
The rulers of Solvara have already reached a conclusion. Humans are greedy. Violent. Incapable of unity. A species that turns every gift into a weapon and every belief into an excuse for war. Extermination is no longer a threat-it is a scheduled verdict.
But one being refuses to accept a judgment passed by those who have never lived among humans.
Aarav-known in Solvara by another name-is the strongest of them all. Feared by kings, obeyed by warriors, and burdened with a duty older than mercy itself. He does not defend humanity with words. Instead, he does something far more dangerous.
He brings witnesses.
The twenty students are not heroes. They are not chosen for greatness. They are chosen because they are ordinary-flawed, frightened, compassionate, selfish, kind. They are brought before councils of immortals as representatives of humanity, forced to speak for a species that does not know it is being judged.
As rulers manipulate truth, leaders prepare for war, and extinction draws closer, the students must answer an impossible question:
If humanity deserves to die...
can they still prove it deserves to live?

What to Expect
- A trial of an entire species
Not a metaphor. Not a prophecy. A literal judgment where extinction is an acceptable outcome.

-A godlike figure who refuses to lie for humanity

-A cast with no narrative protection
Being a representative does not mean being safe.
