No Fear, No Regret

The colony ship is in pieces on the salt flats of a world the crew never meant to land on. June Okafor survives in a single pod, with a flight jacket and a Bible and no way to reach the other survivors. The thing that finds her walks on two legs and speaks in a register that makes her teeth hum. Tessik is a navigator, exiled for refusing a command. Hiding a human in a shrine-tower is the worst decision available to him, and he makes it anyway. She teaches him a prayer his grandmother used to hum. He teaches her songs that have been sung on this ground for nine hundred years. The council will come for her, and the men and women who came across the dark with her are being held. She insists on walking in and speaking. A Christian sci-fi alien romance about a God who is not confined to one world, and two people who choose each other on the far side of exile. Clean, faith-forward, no explicit content.
