This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the vast, indifferent silence of a dying universe, a lone scientist, Dr. Eleanor James, crash-lands on the desolate planet Aethelgard, her mission a desperate gambit to save a dying Earth. But Aethelgard holds secrets far older and more profound than any Earthly ambition, and her arrival is not an exploration, but an invasion. Hunted by her own people and by the planet's ancient, alien guardians, Eleanor finds herself entangled in a desperate struggle for survival and a profound reckoning with humanity's insatiable hunger for conquest. As the echoes of a forgotten genocide reverberate through the planet's living heart, she must confront not only the unforgiving landscape and its lethal inhabitants, but the very nature of her species itself, in a race against time to prevent another world from suffering the same fate as her own.
