On an Earth-like planet plagued by a brutal society, the oppressive reign of the Owners enslaves the unfortunate souls known as the Pets. Anyna's and Ryy's unbreakable friendship is their only solace in a world devoid of hope. Together, they dare to dream of a brighter future, yearning to escape their shackles and find freedom on planet Earth—the fabled haven of humanity's rebirth. However, their pursuit of liberation is not without challenges, and they discover a dark secret looming over their civilization: the relentless attacks by an enigmatic alien race. Now, not only must they survive the brutality of their Owners, but they must also unravel the mystery surrounding their oppressors and fight for their very existence. Will their unwavering bond and shared determination be enough to overcome the odds and secure their long-awaited salvation?

About the Author

I spend most of my time reading, writing, or creating art. When I am not doing any of those things, I am listening to music or obsessively binge-watching animated shows and movies. I always have my head in the clouds, daydreaming of all sorts of ridiculously divine things that transport me away from the real world, and I love moving through life that way. I live happily somewhere on planet Earth.
