Orb Hunters (Headspace)

The gods have abandoned us. The champions and demigods are at war. When a black orb appears on Fiina, 12-year-old Kova Onasi is uninterested in the spectacle until people began to disappear, including her twin sister, Rosi. Ten years later, traumatized by the loss, Kova struggles to live as an adult under the thumb of her overbearing mother. When she is pushed into marriage with a wealthy woman she does not love, Kova despairs at the thought of being trapped into a life she did not want. That is, until escape comes in the form of a mysterious transport that whisks her off the planet on her wedding night, piloted by an A.I. named E-V. The journal through space leads Kova into a world she never imagined, where she learns the universe was far stranger than she ever knew, and that the life of every sentient being in existence was being threatened as part of an ongoing war, with a single word at the center of the conflict - "Rosi". Inside one of the last living black orbs, Kova comes face to face with the last defense against the demigods - a tiny band of surviving champions led by a cold, ruthless arena master, Astra Ching.
