A dying Earth. A clean slate. A stranger who might be everything you never dared to need. The Eleusis Initiative promises humanity a second chance - on a distant world untouched by war, pollution, or history. But the cost of entry is high, and the truth behind the project is carefully hidden. For Anna Prince and Logan Bickford, lifelong friends suspicious of all things Orbit-made, the decision to leave Earth means more than survival. It means confronting the feelings they've buried - and the lives they'll have to give up. In orbit, Dr. Mercury Finnegan and Lieutenant Orion Al-Jabbar have trained for this all their lives. Newly matched, their connection burns fast and hot - but they must wrestle together with the possibility that the Initiative is not all that it promised. As launch day approaches, four lives collide across the skies - testing loyalties, awakening desire, and challenging everything they thought they believed. Eleusis is the future. But paradise always comes at a price.
