Summary
nováárie fawley is the last of her kind. born of a union between a vulcan diplomat and a celestial healer , she has spent her life hidden—tucked away in an unfamiliar world, her true nature concealed beneath a bracelet that masks her identity.
for the celestials were never meant to survive. their gift — the ability to heal , to give life , to share energy in ways that could bring even the dying back from the brink — was their undoing. they gave too much. they fought too little. the universe devoured them.
but nováá is different. her vulcan blood makes her gift finite —every act of healing takes from her , leaves her marked. andwhile her people died with mercy on their lips , nováá carries a quiet , simmering defiance.
when hunters come for her — dragging her from her home , tearing her from her father’s arms — nováá is thrust into the brutal world of the slave trade , her body and her gift priced ; bartered in dark corners of the galaxy. yet — fate has other plans.
it is there , in the heart of her captivity , that nováá crosses paths with the crew of the enterprise. and for the first time in her life — she begins to see the quiet , and the truth that perhaps. this is where her life truly begins.
