Five strangers. One impossible abduction. A choice that could unmake the universe.

Aiden, a corporate titan with everything to lose.
Dr. Lena Petrova, a scientist who believes in logic over miracles.
Elias Vance, a cynical engineer haunted by ghosts in the machine.
Ben Carter, a soldier who trusts only his fists.
Maya Singh, an artist who feels what others cannot.

Each lives an ordinary life—until reality fractures. A flash of light, a scream hidden in paint, a silence that devours sound. In an instant, they are torn from Earth and awakened aboard an alien vessel orbiting far beyond the reach of home.

Their captor is Kaelen, a being of pure energy who claims they were not taken at random, but chosen. The reason? Only their chaotic humanity can survive the dimension where his people cannot tread. Their mission: rescue Lyra, an elder imprisoned in a pocket reality on a violent, storm-wracked world.

Failure means extinction. Success means betrayal.
And the greatest danger isn’t the alien world that awaits them—
it’s the secret bond between predator and prey, captor and captive, human and alien soul.

For in the shadows of the cosmos, survival comes at a cost. And some bargains steal more than your life… they steal your very soul.
