In a galaxy long ago but not so far away, students from across a thousand worlds gather at Aurora University on Homeworld, one of the most prestigious—and expensive—colleges in the galaxy. Here, they build connections that will shape their futures and navigate the high-stakes pressures of galactic society.

Born into one of the most powerful families in the galaxy, Sam Warpwell has always carried the weight of expectations.

In his final year, two remarkable women enter Sam’s life: Carol Comet, a principled Star Legion cadet and daughter of an industrial magnate, and Cybil Orban, the ambitious daughter of his father’s political rival.

As Sam is pulled between love, loyalty, and his family’s legacy, he faces a life-changing choice: follow the path his family has laid out for him, or forge his own future in the Star Legion. Can he reclaim his honor and find his true purpose before it’s too late?

Emotional gut-punch

By the final chapter, I was actually crying. This isn’t just another sci-fi adventure — it’s a deeply human story about struggle, loss, and hope. Absolutely incredible.

This should win awards

Everything about this audiobook — the story, the narration, the pacing — is award-worthy. If there’s any justice, this book will be a classic one day.

A narrator that brings every word to life

This narrator is next-level good. I normally listen at 1.5x speed, but for this one, I slowed down just to savor their performance. The voice acting added real gravity to the emotional beats, and every line felt purposeful. It’s rare to hear such synergy between story and voice.

Completely immersive

I felt like I was inside this future world. Brilliant storytelling and vivid narration. Sometimes the topics and tone weighed me down. Best for when you’re in the mood for something serious.

Mind-blowing story with masterful narration

From the first chapter, I was completely sucked into this world. The way the author paints the struggle between privilege and survival is both heartbreaking and inspiring. The narrator’s performance made every character feel unique and alive. I found myself thinking about this story long after finishing it.

A must-listen for lovers of thoughtful sci-fi

If you enjoy deep, layered sci-fi stories like Dune or The Left Hand of Darkness, you will love this. It raises big questions about power, history, and memory in ways that stay with you. Easily one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to this year.

Best narrator I’ve heard this year

Whoever cast this narrator deserves a medal. Each voice felt distinct, and emotional scenes were handled with such nuance that it genuinely enhanced the story.

Brilliantly performed, emotionally devastating

Rarely do I come across a story that leaves me feeling both furious and hopeful. The story tackles the harsh realities of systemic privilege without being preachy. I couldn’t stop listening. The final chapters broke my heart in the best way possible.

Unexpectedly beautiful writing

I came for the sci-fi and stayed for the prose. The language in this audiobook is stunning — poetic without being flowery. Several times I had to pause and replay sentences just to hear them again.

A layered story that rewards repeat listens

I already want to listen again. There are so many little hints and world-building details you only notice after finishing the story. It’s incredibly rich.
