Destiny Among the Stars -
Synopsis
Captain Luca Rossi will cross four light-years to reach a star no human has ever touched. Telling his first officer how he feels about her is the part that actually scares him.
Luca and Emily have been circling each other for four years, since back when they were just kids diving portals in New Hampshire. Now the System has handed humanity the stars, and Luca a starship called the Triumph of Darron and a crew of his closest friends to fly her. Out past the edge of the Solar System there are no adults left to defer to, no second chances, and no more excuses not to say the thing he's never said.
Then they find the war. Something older than Earth has been waiting in the dark between the stars, and the crew of the Triumph is about to learn why humanity was left alone for so long.
They're not chosen heroes. Just kids from New Hampshire with good stats, big dreams, and a ship no one thinks they're ready to fly.
What to expect:
A slow-burn romance at the center of a crew that feels like family
Real exploration and first contact
A grounded, wry protagonist in way over his head
Progression that rewards being clever over grinding stats
Climb aboard the Triumph of Darron for a journey of exploration and claim a future among the stars.
