Alien Quest: A Coming of Age Space Opera

“…Epic space opera with depth, heart, and non-stop adventure!”
A psi-gifted mercenary warrior faces off both natural and supernatural forces but discovers that the toughest battle may be within her own heart.
Triya Noeh discovers an alien artifact on her planet when she’s a teenager. Visions she receives in the temple draw her to a mystery world where she hopes to find out why she is different from the people she was born to. Surviving a traumatic childhood, Ciarán Rhys becomes the successful Captain of his family’s galactic trade-ship, the Northern Star. Yet puzzling dreams challenge his life’s trajectory, suggesting he isn’t on the right path.
Eventually Ciarán and Triya meet in the most unlikely of circumstances, the shattered remains of a gang turf war. Triya accepts Ciarán’s offer to join his crew, and they partner together to find a mystery planet where their destinies may await them. But the inevitable clash of lifestyle and heart’s intent threatens to prevent them from reaching the hidden world. Just as they begin to find their way, opposition from cosmic forces and the influence of a dangerous relic imperil the existence of their starship. It takes all of Triya’s psi powers and Ciarán’s determination to battle the peril. Ultimately, the relic will invade and reconfigure their ideas about their own identity and purpose.

“Masterfully blends hard science fiction with metaphysical wonder…”
A far distant, Eden-like world that few humans know about and still fewer know its secrets…
Angelus is home to two sapient species and a mushroom-like fruit that prevents aging. The astute, friendly Wombies (aka Ch’tel) resemble bipedal koalas and are telepathic. The Àdain, the world’s rulers, are spirit Beings who sometimes appear as angels. When humans discovered their world 50 years ago the Àdain foresaw that most of the paths spreading out into the future from that point in time would end in disaster for their planet. But there was one path in which a mutually beneficial living symbiosis could blossom between the two species. The Àdain set about finding a pair of suitable human symbionts.
Ciarán Rhys, Captain of the interstellar trade-ship Northern Star and Triya Noeh, his First Officer and sometimes lover, are youthful traders who have found in each other a common goal: the search for a mystery world that has been in their dreams and visions from childhood. In time, a lucrative contract to ship equipment to Angelus sparks their interest and they take it on, not realizing that the move will forever change their lives.
Powerful entities, both human and supernatural, will do all in their power to prevent Ciarán and Triya from securing their destiny. In the end victory will not come from force of arms or magic powers but from the cementing of a human love between them that dares to let each other blaze their own trail. A trail that for all they know might end all that they have known of each other. A trail that not even the Àdain know for sure where it will lead.
