In a post-industrial town only twelve light-years from Earth, three young friends grapple with the bonds of friendship, the complexities of love, and the allure of off-world adventure in a galaxy teeming with possibilities-and dangers. Would you risk everything to chase a brighter future among the stars, or remain behind in a world of dwindling opportunities? Can love and friendship endure when tested by the fires of war on the far side of the Galactic Union? This is the second book from A Future Long Ago, where the lives of ordinary people collide with extraordinary events, introducing characters destined to shape the great galactic conflict chronicled in ancient texts recovered and translated by the Precursor Research Alliance.

Perfect for readers seeking character-driven, traditional-values adventure fiction set against a galaxy of interstellar intrigue and timeless exploration.
