Starbound Hearts

by Brinda Phokeerdass

In the vast silence of space, two souls must decide whether love is a risk worth taking—or the key to understanding an ancient call echoing across the stars.

Captain Selene Darrow commands the Vanguard with unshakable precision, her heart sealed by past tragedy and duty to the United Fleet. But when Lieutenant Lucas Arden joins her crew—haunted by a mysterious hum that only he can hear—Selene is drawn into a voyage unlike any she's ever known. As strange anomalies plague their mission to Zora Prime and an alien signal intensifies, the two must learn to trust not only each other, but the song of a long-dead civilization. To answer it may save them—or unravel everything they've ever believed.

Starbound Hearts is a lyrical, emotionally charged science fiction romance that explores the cost of connection, the burden of memory, and the power of love to transcend space and time.
