The years came and went. Earth is no longer the only planet out there, and adventures are only just beginning for Aurora's crew. 

Bessie Marvin didn't think she would be selected to join the Aurora. After all, as a freshly graduated agriculture bioengineer, she lacks the experience most of those in her position hold. So, why would a government send someone like her out to the great unknown? The answer comes sooner then she thinks when their ship crash lands at their destination, a water exoplanet with little land in sight.

Orion has always wondered if there was more beyond the glowing lights of his world. This idea pulls him away from his tiny reef and the ocean's comfortable currents, creating a fissure between him and his family. When a strange creature crash lands onto his tiny island, Orion knows this is his chance to finally tame this growing curiosity once and for all. However, meeting Bessie Marvin and falling in love was far from his plans. 

With the world between the two of them collided, there's no way to go back how things once were. Now, they will have to navigate cultural differences from both space and ocean if they wish to stay together throughout the growing tension between the two sides. With time running out, Bessie and Orion will have to decided if they're willing to stand their ground or give in to the pressures of the ocean's depths.

WARNING!!!!! 18+ fantasy taboo When humanity abandons Earth in search of survival, Captain Elias Carter and his 18-year-old daughter, Lucy Carter, find themselves stranded on the alien planet Kaelora after their starship, Eclipse, crash-lands. The planet is as breathtaking as it is unforgiving, with glowing bioluminescent landscapes, extreme weather, and remnants of a long-lost alien civilization. With no chance of rescue and supplies running low, Elias and Lucy must work together to endure Kaelora's dangers. Elias, a seasoned pilot haunted by the loss of his wife, is determined to protect Lucy at all costs. Lucy, brilliant and bold, is eager to prove herself, taking risks to uncover the secrets hidden in the planet's alien ruins and strange technology. As they navigate the perils of survival, the two grapple with their complex relationship. Elias's cautious nature often clashes with Lucy's impulsive determination, forcing them to confront their grief, differences, and the strength of their bond as father and daughter. When they discover that their crash may not have been an accident and that Kaelora holds the key to humanity's survival, Elias and Lucy are thrust into a race against time. Together, they must unravel the mysteries of the planet and face impossible choices that will determine the fate of not only their lives but also the remnants of humanity. Kaelora is more than a story of survival-it's a tale of love, resilience, and hope in the face of overwhelming odds.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
