Description
Thirty thousand years ago, the Zydean civilization abandoned their dying planet. Captain Tuatu, scientist Ureth, and the sentient intelligence VIRA crossed the stars aboard the living arkship Arvidan, carrying ten thousand souls toward an uncertain future.
Their journey ends at a world already claimed-Earth. To preserve their arrival in secrecy, the Zydeans descend beneath the Antarctic ice, building a refuge within its frozen depths. Yet the silence they expected is not empty. The seas move with unseen purpose, the air hums with strange rhythms, and the planet itself seems aware.
As they struggle to survive, the Zydeans must confront what it means to adapt, to love, and to awaken on a world that may not welcome them.
Blending myth and science, Escape begins The Arvidan Chronicles, a visionary science-fiction saga exploring consciousness, memory, and the fragile thread that binds all life across the stars.
