Stolen From Earth

They were stolen from Earth to be a symbol. They survived to become a weapon. Ryo Sanders is a nobody, a disillusioned thief surviving in the cracks of a futuristic Earth. His life is a series of small cons, not grand adventures. But when silent, monolithic ships fill the sky and abduct thousands in a terrifying, silent harvest, Ryo is taken with them-a piece of biological cargo in a war he doesn't understand.
He awakens stranded on Xeros: a harsh, red desert world ruled by a technologically superior race that has suppressed all emotion. In their rigid society, love is a literal act of treason, a forbidden bond that triggers an irreversible transformation, turning their jet-black hair a luminous, shameful white. Hunted and alone, burdened by survivor's guilt, Ryo must use his street smarts to navigate the teeming, oppressive undercity.
He becomes a ghost, a black marketeer trading in relics from a lost Earth. But his desperate quest for survival leads him to an encounter that will change the fate of the galaxy: a fateful meeting with Aura'lyn, the beautiful, captive daughter of the planet's ruthless Supreme Chancellor. She is everything he is not-a creature of duty, power, and profound loneliness. But the forbidden connection they forge is immediate and dangerous.
With a single touch, her hair begins to turn, a visible mark of her rebellion. Their bond becomes the spark that ignites a planet-wide civil war, and Ryo, the forgotten castaway, finds himself at the center of a prophecy he never believed in. Caught between warring factions, Ryo must choose: remain a ghost, forever running, or embrace his role as the anomaly who can burn down an empire. But in a world where love is the ultimate crime, will their connection be their salvation, or the trigger for their mutual destruction?Stolen From Earth is a sprawling, cinematic sci-fi epic perfect for fans of Dune and The Hunger Games.
It's a story of rebellion, survival, and a love so powerful it can remake a world.
