Soren woke up 8,000 years in the future with the powers of a god. They’re unstable, linked to his emotions, and he’s in fight or flight. Staying calm is essential, but he soon realizes that he shares a mysterious mental link with a hot-tempered alien matriarch. He thinks she's incredibly beautiful, but she wants him dead. She struggles with her own attraction to him—because he’s the reason her planet is falling into the sun. And he’s the only one who can stop it. Joined by a living legend, a synthetic little sister, and a whole squad of hard-fighting, hard-loving warriors, Soren must forge new connections after losing everything he loved. Saving the world is just the first step. Falling for the woman will be the real battle. Because in a galaxy of aliens and matriarchs, holding on to your humanity means riding the blurry line between man and monster. This story contains mature themes, explicit (but not constant) sexual content, and graphic violence. It is not suitable for readers under the age of 18. What to Expect: - A very slow-burn, enemies to friends to lovers romance.- An epic, multi-book space opera with a large found family and multiple POVs.- A powerful but emotionally vulnerable protagonist with chaotic powers he struggles to control. - Strong, capable, and sometimes morally gray women.- High stakes, cosmic threats, and detailed world-building. What NOT to Expect: - Harem- LitRPG/System elements- Lone wolf power fantasy- A story that is only about romance
