The Vanished Birds

Dystopia, space opera, and found family

A mute child appears mysteriously on a planet and finds himself placed in the care of a ship’s captain. The pair forms a solid bond on the short trip to their next company stop. As a result, Captain Imani finds herself agreeing to a strange and dangerous contract to keep the boy—who may wield an astonishing power—safe. It’s dystopia and space opera, as well as a story of found and made family, and about the choices that shape lives.
