The Silent Center

"They told us Jupiter was nothing but a crushing storm of toxic gas. They were wrong. It was a shield."

In 2029, NASA pioneer Abigail Vance embarks on a desperate, unauthorized mission into the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. Expecting to find a violent, empty graveyard, she instead crashes through the atmosphere into Aethelgard-a breathtaking, hyper-advanced matriarchal civilization hidden from the greed of human men for over two thousand years.

Nursed back to health by a society of telepathic sisters, Abigail finally finds the peace and unconditional acceptance she never had on Earth. She even finds herself falling for Casey, a fiercely protective Jovian Councilor with starlight in her eyes.

But Earth hasn't forgotten her.
When her brilliant best friend, Alison, reverse-engineers the technology to launch a rescue mission, she unknowingly leads a heavily armed, resource-hungry terrestrial military dreadnought right to Jupiter's doorstep. Now, caught between the family she left behind and the sanctuary she swore to protect, Abigail must orchestrate the greatest deception in human history to keep her new world safe.

The Silent Center is a sweeping, emotionally raw sci-fi epic about found family, cosmic secrets, and a love powerful enough to rewrite the stars.
