Something enormous has entered our solar system —and Bali is the first place it touches. After an undetected flyover, a target-like mark appears on Wayan ’s arm. A matching pattern scorches her garden. Mount Agung surges toward disaster… then calms, as if an unseen hand has steadied it. Wayan—Balinese martial arts champion, environmental activist, fiercely independent—can’t shake the feeling the mark is meant for her. A mission. A summons. Rizky , a gifted astrophysicist with a stubborn faith in alien benevolence, says it on live television: the visitors may have stabilized the volcano. The world laughs—then the mob brands him an “alien sympathizer” and comes for him. When Wayan draws police attention after a self-defense incident, she’s forced on the run, too. They clash from the start—over crabs snatched from her beach, a theory mocked in public, and a cop dropped with a single kick. Rizky falls for her fast. She’s drawn to him—and fights it. But as drones thicken the skies and fear turns Bali into a hunting ground, they flee together through temples, rooftops, and rain-soaked jungle, chased from two sides. Because the real question isn’t whether the aliens are watching. It’s what they want. Earth is being mined —and what Wayan mistakes for protection may be something far darker: a claim. A high-stakes sci-fi survival romance with sharp banter and sensual, open-door intimacy. Recommended for older teens and adult readers (16+).
