When Earth's last exiles drift toward a new world, love and survival collide in the dark between stars.

On the Odyssey, a starship carrying humanity's unwanted, engineer Reyes keeps the systems alive while quietly drowning in grief. Botanist Kaelen tends forbidden experiments in Hydroponics-work that could save or doom them all. When a mysterious alien signal whispers a single word-Open-the fragile balance aboard shatters. Political loyalties fracture, secret alliances bloom, and the line between ship and something far stranger begins to blur. As an uncharted reality grows within their hull, Reyes and Kaelen must decide whether to follow the path Earth chose for them... or step into a new world no human has ever seen. Under dying stars, they found each other. Under living light, they must choose to stay.
