A Glimpse into the Saga:

An ancient alien artifact. Two sisters. A galaxy on the brink of destruction.

When a long-forgotten alien artifact is uncovered on Asteroid 16 Psyche, it triggers a sequence of political chaos, betrayal, and deadly conflicts. Nova Clearwater, once shielded from responsibility, is forced to flee into deep space, carrying knowledge others will kill to suppress. Meanwhile, her sister Amalie remains on Earth, caught in the rising storm of political unrest, with her fate uncertain and the future of Earth hanging in the balance.

Set against a backdrop of sleek spacecraft, decaying space stations, and haunting alien ruins, Starborn Alive weaves the grandeur of space opera with the emotional depth of a character-driven drama. It explores themes of identity, legacy, ambition, and the high cost of survival in a universe where morality blurs and trust is a luxury.

Why You Should Read:

In this updated version, Starborn Alive has been reworked to give you an enriched reading experience, offering new chapters and expanded content that delve deeper into the world of Nova and Amalie. This isn’t just a story about space—it’s about human resilience, family bonds, and the ethical challenges that come with wielding great power.

With two volumes now available, this is your chance to experience an epic journey from its very beginning, setting the stage for what’s to come.
