The Red Days: Will Aliens Rule Us? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954000810)

Two years after Earth's conquest by an advanced alien race, Callista's life takes a sharp turn when she receives a letter summoning her to New York City. The Supreme Commander, Negev Xor-nalden, is seeking a wife, and Callista-eager to explore beyond her small world-accepts the invitation despite her mother's warnings.

But nothing is as it seems.

From a high-stakes chess match that sparks a tense rivalry with Negev to a chance encounter with a secret underground resistance group, Callista's simple journey for adventure spirals into a web of danger, rebellion, and intrigue. She soon learns that Negev is not the only alien vying for control-his ruthless rival, Gren-del, rules Europe with an iron fist, his latest oppressive edict pushing the world to the brink of chaos.

As Callista becomes a symbol of defiance for the Renegades, her growing fame puts her in the crosshairs of both alien factions. Negev, torn between his duty and the brewing rebellion, begins to suspect she's part of a larger conspiracy. The tension between them builds-along with an undeniable connection neither can ignore.

When Negev is betrayed and imprisoned by his own kind, Callista must risk everything to save him and stop Gren-del's reign of terror. In a world where loyalty is as fragile as trust, Callista must decide if she's willing to embrace the role of leader-or remain a pawn in a much larger game.

In the fight for Earth's future, the line between ally and enemy blurs, and Callista must confront her deepest fears if she's to save the ones she loves-and the planet that remains her home.

Will she seize her destiny, or will it be her undoing?

"The Red Days" is a gripping tale of courage, conflict, and impossible choices.
