Nabukko

“Superlative characters and worldbuilding ensure this SF tale will linger for some time.” —Kirkus Reviews

Eff is stranded on an unfamiliar planet. Her memories have been tampered with, leaving her with only snippets of information. With no recollection of how she arrived, why she’s there, or what happened to the rest of her crew, all she can do is try to stay alive.

After months of surviving and exploring the alien landscape, she’s awoken one night by two human scouts. They bring Eff back to their settlement, a rustic colony base whose people treat her with suspicion rather than open arms. The more she observes them, the more certain she is that these colonists know something about her lost memories.

Even as Eff grows closer to several of the colonists, she learns that trust is impossible when everyone has something to conceal. And within the colony, someone isn’t interested in answers at all.

They’re out for blood.

For fans of The 100, Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle), and Across the Universe.

If you crave:

• scifi mystery with locked‑colony tension
• a heroine who might be the key to their secrets
• a slow burn connection with the man who dislikes her
• a closed‑circle colony where everyone has something to hide
• survival stakes that tighten with every chapter
• a world where the tech is broken, memories are missing, and the truth is lethal

then Nabukko will pull you in and refuse to let go.

Trust no one.

Uncover the truth before the colony decides you are the next threat.
