Trope-free science fiction!

Climb aboard via Books 1, 2, or 3. You won't regret the ride! In this standalone sci-fi thriller, Elea'nora, a twenty-five year-old woman who has always been treated like "ordinary dust" by her status-seeking family, bonds with her young nephew, Finn, and tries to carve a life for herself.

Finn joins the military and Elea'nora pursues the man who has destroyed her life.
