Emergence (The Valmoran Chronicles Book 1)

Two galaxies. One microbe. The fate of trillions hangs in the balance.

Earth has changed—an unidentified microbe swept the globe, curing all disease and crippling the world economy. Aubrey Hope, heiress to a pharmaceutical empire, will do anything to save her family legacy. Her Hail Mary plan requires a microbiologist, a hacker, and a pop star.

In another galaxy, Matthai Valtrellin, unexpected heir to the high priesthood, is burdened by grief and duty. But when a naked, bloodied alien teleports from the future, claiming to be his mate, his world turns upside down.

Caught between his obligations to her, his family, and the countless Valmoran citizens he is fated to lead, he finds himself torn between fate and destiny. But with the help of a luck-obsessed smuggler, an empathic politician who finds most people ‘invariably intolerable’, and a four-armed ex-gladiator, he may just find himself on a perilous journey to a mythical planet … called Earth.

As these complex characters navigate love, duty, and the weight of their own choices, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways. Each must confront their own demons while grappling with forces beyond their control.
