Paradise Fractured (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781930112124)

What if the greatest threat to paradise... was its own people?

Cloverlyne never imagined she'd be torn from her home galaxy, let alone become a key player in an interstellar conflict that could unravel the very fabric of her civilization. Raised among the stars in a place known as The Realms, she grew up surrounded by power, prosperity, and secrets.

The Realms was once the pinnacle of human expansion-an empire forged in the cosmos by pioneers who fled their dying planet to build something new. Infused with mysterious energies, this galaxy gifted its inhabitants with extraordinary abilities. Some adapted to alien worlds by transforming their bodies. Others reshaped entire planets to reflect their will. Over time, the Realmers became more than human. They became something... else.

But perfection has a price-and peace is never permanent.

Now, as political tensions rise and ancient loyalties fracture, Cloverlyne finds herself aboard her brother's ship on a forbidden mission to a distant, alien galaxy-one that humanity was never meant to touch. There, she and her crew make first contact with other advanced civilizations... civilizations that are not impressed with the Realmers or their growing presence.

As suspicions mount and betrayal strikes from within, Cloverlyne must face a terrifying truth: the paradise she's always known is built on illusions-and it may be falling apart. With war brewing and the fate of both galaxies hanging in the balance, she must decide who to trust, what to fight for, and how far she's willing to go to save a home that may no longer exist.

Epic in scale and emotionally gripping, this is a powerful sci-fi journey through love, loyalty, betrayal, and the resilience of one girl who was never meant to be a hero... but might be the only one left.
