Prologue part 1

In a fractured, post-apocalyptic America devastated by a Second Civil War, Aurora Long Wyatt, commander of humanity's first off-world colony on the planet Neion, returns to a dying Earth with one mission: to unite the divided factions and save what's left of humanity from total extinction. Amid this volatile political landscape, Aurora must confront the crushing weight of her fame, her fractured ego, and the haunting scars of her past. She struggles with the moral compromises of power, and a love she can never have. This is a story that dives deep into the internal and external battles of a woman determined to save the world - even if it means losing herself in the process.
