You Treated Us Like Aliens. So We Stopped Being Human.

"Once upon a time, we had human names."

From the pain of exile emerges Luminae, a civilization founded by dreamers, survivors, and visionaries determined to create a future beyond humanity's prejudice. At the center of this transformation is Caiu, a young scholar whose questions challenge empires, reshape history, and ignite a journey that spans generations.

Alongside Avai, Awauei, Kyei, and the gentle-hearted Elyon, Caiu witnesses the rise of a new world, the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, the devastation of galactic war, and the possibility of reconciliation with the very planet that once rejected them.

Blending queer fantasy, cosmic science fiction, political drama, romance, and hopepunk, You Treated Us Like Aliens. So We Stopped Being Human. is an epic saga about identity, belonging, love, memory, and the courage to imagine a better future.

A story of exiles who became pioneers, enemies who became allies, and two worlds that learned that survival is only the beginning.

The stars taught them how to survive. Understanding taught them how to live.
