    Summary

    "Don't try to get up," Colt says. His voice is very even. "Stay right there, Ry. Just stay."

    The man between them looks almost bored, which is somehow the worst thing about him. He checks his watch. He looks at the door.

    Come on, Colt thinks. At no one. At the door. At the empty idea of rescue. Come on. Come on.

    He doesn't let himself think the name.

    He thinks it anyway.

    Summary

    After saving humanity alongside an alien engineer named Rocky, Ryland Grace never expects to survive long enough to see Erid—let alone become part of it.

    Exhausted, isolated, and carrying the quiet grief of losing Earth, Grace arrives on an alien world that should feel impossibly foreign. Instead, he finds himself drawn into the strange warmth of Eridian life: blunt honesty, communal care, relentless scientific collaboration… and Adrian, Rocky’s fiercely intelligent bonded partner, who takes one look at the worn-out human and decides he’s far too fragile to be left unsupervised.

    While Erid races to save its dying sun alongside their newest human scientist, Grace slowly discovers something he never expected after the Hail Mary mission:

    A home.

    Caught between astrophage research, cultural misunderstandings, accidental adoption by alien engineers, and an entire civilization determined to keep him alive despite his own terrible survival instincts, Grace learns that family is not always the one you are born into—

    Sometimes it is the one that chooses you across the stars. 💛
