She finds them. She warns them. She runs.

Rhea Ouranós delivers the same message to every alien civilization she comes across: The Hunters are listening.

They don’t invade or negotiate. Entire civilizations vanish overnight, collapsed into artificial black holes. No survivors, no exceptions. The only way to stay safe is to hide.

So when the Kouse—a seemingly primitive alien species—claim they can fight back, Rhea writes them off as already dead. Until they show her the impossible. Blueprints to build the exact weapon the Hunters use.

Teaming with an alien intent on befriending Rhea and a sassy AI, the three travel to a distant world to retrieve the needed materials. But as the plan spirals out of control, Rhea must confront her past. And the key to defeating the Hunters may be the only thing they refuse to show: mercy.

She Who Warns the Stars: A First Contact Sci-Fi Survival Novel is a character-driven space opera for readers of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and The Three-Body Problem—a story of found family and battling the impossible odds.
