Synopsis

For fans of Skyward, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Star Wars.

They weren't looking for a spaceship. Now it's the only way home.

Casey Hawkins signed on to fly survey drones and fix equipment for his brother's archaeological dig — not to become a hero. But when a ruthless cartel storms the camp, Casey, James, and their friend Heather flee into the jungle and stumble onto a secret buried for a thousand years: a starship so alien it defies light itself.

One panicked escape later, they're marooned on the far side of the galaxy.

Getting home should be simple: fly the ship back. It isn't — not when they don't know where "back" even is.

While every other spacecraft in the known galaxy relies on warp drives and jump gates, the Shaina Ariana folds space in seconds — and nothing else like it has ever been found. Every galactic empire, warlord, and pirate wants it, and they'll take Casey's crew captive — or kill them — to get it.

An emperor offers alliance. Heather's sharp eye for patterns hints at an unlikely ally. And something is stirring inside Casey that even he can't explain — something that might be the only thing keeping them alive.

Surrounded by alien tech and a target on their backs, can three friends outmaneuver an empire built on secrets they haven't even discovered yet?
