Beyond Two Worlds

In the year 3000, a dying and overcrowded Earth forces humanity to make an impossible choice: send its youth to colonize Mars, or watch civilization collapse. Among the chosen is Lily, a quiet young woman torn away from her grieving mother and the only life she has ever known.

After a nine-month journey across the void, Lily arrives on a hostile red world-one that seems empty, silent, and dead. But Mars is not uninhabited.

When Lily wanders beyond the human camp, she encounters Leo, a mysterious alien belonging to an ancient race called the Grays. Unlike the others of his kind, Leo understands human language... and he understands something else even more forbidden: Love.

Drawn to Lily from the moment he first saw her, Leo risks his place in his tribe, defies their laws, and stands against his own people to protect her. As their bond deepens, Lily finds herself caught between two worlds-claimed by a human commander who wants her for himself, and cherished by an alien who would sacrifice everything for her.

But love between human and alien is punishable by death.

When a violent betrayal tears them apart and forces Lily back to Earth, grief shatters her completely. And just when she believes her story is over, the skies above her home erupt with fire: Mars has invaded Earth-searching for one girl, Lily.

Now, humanity's fate hangs in the balance as two civilizations prepare for war, and Lily must face the truth that terrifies her most: The heart she fears to love is the only one strong enough to save her.
