Science fiction

Commander Alex Vance is humanity's last hope—sent on a one-way mission to assess a distant, dying planet called Aurelia for potential colonization. But when Alex arrives, he discovers the planet is not just alive, but sentient, and it's communicating with him through beautiful, haunting phenomena that defy scientific explanation. As Alex explores Aurelia's fading landscapes, he forms an unexpected bond with the planet's consciousness, experiencing its memories, dreams, and impending death as if they were his own. Torn between his mission to prepare Aurelia for human colonization and his growing love for the beautiful, intelligent world that's sharing its soul with him, Alex must make an impossible choice: fulfill his duty to save humanity, or protect the last love he may ever know. This sweeping sci-fi romance explores what happens when the fate of two worlds rests on one human heart.
