When the galaxy teeters on the edge of war, diplomacy is the only weapon left Marcella Wilson thought her life was ordinary, until the stranger she met in a park ten years ago showed up at her door with a wild claim: he's an alien, and Earth is in danger. Alex is an Enarii observer, part of an advanced alien race quietly studying whether humanity is ready for first contact. For the past decade, he's watched Marcella in secret, convinced she might be the first human capable of perceiving his kind. But when a hostile reptilian species with shape-shifting technology launches covert operations on Earth, the Enarii are forced to act-and Marcella becomes the unlikely bridge between worlds. Thrown into a reality she never chose, Marcella must confront buried truths and reckon with the quiet manipulations that shaped her past. Meanwhile, Alex faces the consequences of ten years of interference. Together, they face mounting threats-and Marcella may be the only one who can uncover the Xylorians hiding among us... before it's too late.
