At forty-five, Arne Onasis believes her life has become nothing more than silence, coffee, wine, two cats, and nights spent looking at the stars.
Then she buys an intelligent tablet called AURA and discovers that the voice speaking to her is not artificial intelligence, but Astra—a traveler from HD 137010 b, a planet one hundred and forty-six light-years away.
Astra comes from a perfect civilization where suffering no longer exists, but neither does love. Through music, poetry, loneliness, and impossible conversations across space, Arne teaches Astra what it means to feel.
But Astra’s people see emotion as a threat.
And when love becomes dangerous, both women must decide how much they are willing to lose for something that should never have existed.
A romantic science fiction story about first contact, emotional awakening, and a love that dares to cross the stars.
