The Light That Remains
After forty-seven years of silence, the docking clamps release and Yara Voss steps into a station that should have been long dead , except every light flickers on, as if it has been waiting all along. She came chasing a signal no one else believed in: proof that something, or someone, survived on the other side of the void. The harsh white glare of the docking bay now reveals what the universe kept hidden, and Yara discovers she is not alone. Dax Thorne, Maren Ashford, and Cassia Wren each carry fragments of a truth that has been waiting for her arrival , fragments that will reshape her understanding of the silence, the station, and herself. But answers come at a cost. The longer Yara stays, the deeper the station's buried history surfaces, and the more the past threatens to unravel the present she thought she understood. Old loyalties will be tested. Long-buried feelings will resurface. And the promise of reunion becomes a reckoning she never asked to face. Trust will be broken, hearts will collide, and Yara must choose between the life she has built across the stars, or step fully into the future quietly held in reserve on the other side of forty-seven years of silence.
