When the stars fall silent, hope must arise. In a future where Earth has been left in ash and humanity is swept away among the stars, survival hinges on one fragile hope: the Flame of Life—a seed capable of breathing new life into dead worlds. Born aboard the Great Expedition, humanity's last great ship, young Lian lives a quiet, routine existence—until a mysterious force known only as "The Silence" strikes without warning, shattering the station's fragile peace. As chaos spreads around her, Lian is thrust into a leadership she never sought, guiding a shattered crew through the desolate remains of humanity's ancient dreams. As they travel through derelict starships, abandoned colonies, and the silent graveyards of the First Exodus, they uncover ancient secrets that could save humanity... or destroy it forever. Burdened with the last embers of life, Lian must make an impossible choice: cling to the past or ignite a future no one has dared to imagine. Epic in scope and human at its core, "The Flame of Life" is a story of resilience, discovery, and the light we carry even in the darkest nights.
