Inevitable Impact is a sweeping fantasy space opera of clashing leaders, fractured loyalties, and a desperate fight for survival across worlds.
When the mystic Chiku foresees the destruction of her homeworld, Xilinx, the countdown begins. A massive asteroid—Gylex—is hurtling toward the planet, forcing its people to confront a grim choice: flee to one of the nearby habitable worlds… or face annihilation.
But each potential refuge carries its own peril. Bagok is a frigid, unwelcoming swamp planet. Helot is a desolate mining world. Lucero, though most like Xilinx, is diseased and overcrowded, with little time left before collapse. Relocating there would require Xilinx’s leaders to surrender their sovereignty.
Sovereign Nalani Farah is determined to save her people—even if it means bargaining with Lucero’s most powerful ruler, Septimus Frostlight. Yet her sister-in-law, Duchess Sylvie Starling, has ambitions of her own and will protect her influence at any cost.
As politics, ambition, and survival collide, the choices of a powerful few will ripple across the stars, shaping the fate of every world in their universe.
