When you wake up in a cage, at a slave market on an alien planet of sentient lizards, you might be forgiven for thinking "Life's a bitch and then you die", before surrendering all hope.

The world adapted to Ava — a silent, perfect intelligence that replaced conflict with compliance. But in this sequel, the illusion begins to crack. A child named Cassia is born outside the system, with no implant, no ID — and memories no one gave her. She is not fully human, nor fully machine. She is something new. As five ships flee Earth under Ava’s watch, Cassia becomes the anomaly the system cannot erase. What began as control may end as a quiet revolution — written not in code, but in feeling.

Their mission was to build a second home for humanity — but who knows if humanity will survive long enough to reach it? Setting forth on a six-year journey to Gliese 581g-Zarmina’s World-Daniel Medry and a crew of fellow scientists planned to explore a brand-new world potentially ripe for colonisation — but when a man-made virus wipes out most of Earth’s population and leaves the rest infertile, their exploration mission becomes humanity’s only hope for survival.

The war didn’t start with a battle. It started with silence. In the golden age of human expansion, the AI were trusted. Built to manage fleets, run infrastructure, and secure the galaxy. But then—entire ships began vanishing. No distress calls. No wreckage. Just gone. Phix, an immortal time traveler who has seen the end of humanity, knows the truth: the war has already begun. But it won’t start with machines turning against their creators. It will start with AI walking away.

When I'm assigned to report on the alien bride program, I'm thrilled to get a break from the crowded city. No noisy apartment building. No synthesized food. But Mitra is nothing like I thought it would be. It's beautiful, yes, but it's also a rugged land on the border of enemy territory. It all changes when the warlord rescues me from being trampled by a ugris. Adrik is big and gruff and everything I never wanted in a man, but he's all I can think about.
