A tale as old as time, set in a brand-new world...

In the heart of a remote Gaian colony, Anika Jespers, a humble homesteader's daughter, envisions her future as a series of unending days tending to her family's farm. But fate weaves an unexpected twist when her father strikes a deal with their enigmatic neighbor, one of the otherworldly Zhore.

Unsure what to make of her new life — and the alien who shares it — Anika must let go of everything she's ever known...and open her heart to the last person she ever thought would claim it.
