Description
“Suspenseful sci-fi with complex world-building and a tough-as-nails heroine you’ll want to root for!” — Elizabeth Briggs, New York Times Bestselling Author of Future Shock
“In this bleak world, one spark of hope soon turns into an inferno. And just like a fireball, once this story is ignited, it just doesn’t stop.” — Maria V. Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of Navigating the Stars
From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the now complete Aunare Chronicles.
In an all-too-plausible future where corporate conglomerates have left the world’s governments in shambles, anyone with means has left the polluted Earth for the promise of a better life on a SpaceTech owned colony among the stars.
Maité Martinez is the daughter of an Earther Latina and a powerful Aunare man, an alien race that SpaceTech sees as a threat to their dominion. When tensions turned violent, Maité found herself trapped on Earth and forced into hiding.
For thirteen years, Maité has stayed hidden, but every minute she stays on Earth is one closer to getting caught.
She’s lived on the streets, gone hungry, and found a way to fight through it all. But one night, while waitressing in a greasy diner, a customer gets handsy with her. She reacts without thinking.
Covered in blood, Maité runs, but it’s not long before SpaceTech finds her…
Arrested and forced into dangerous work detail on a volcano planet, Maité waits for SpaceTech to make their move against the Aunare. She knows she’ll be used as a pawn soon. If she can’t find a way to stop them, there will be an interstellar war big enough to end all life in the universe.
But how can one girl—one prisoner—prevent the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?
Binge the complete Aunare Chronicles series now!

5By mr. sure 999Very good storyline and developmentGreat read!
4By bugsis99I kept coming back to find out what happened.Pleasantly surprised
5By slothsgetmeI honestly didn’t expect much from this book when I downloaded it, but it really surprised me. I couldn’t put it down and will definitely be reading the rest of the series!OFF PLANET
4By poparazi1The story starts slow and with a young adult book feel to it, but soon enough gets you wanting to know what’s next. The story is very emotional and you quickly start identifying with the character. The mental conversation of the main character/ heroine really moves you bond with her plight and gets you rooting for her to be victorious in her struggles. This book is hard to put down, I don’t often use this expression, but it is true in this case. It’s been a long time since last I read a book like this that got me so engrossed in the plot that forgot I had other things to do! I recommend this book to read and just kick back and go with the flow of the story. It better than a movie! I’m sure the following book will be as exciting as this one since there’s so much potential to improve and refine this story. I couldn’t find any serious flaws in the plot. Grammar and spelling errors were notably absent ( a shock, to me). Maybe it was that I really enjoyed and ignored everything else but the story. You read it and be the judge! Well done! José PérezSurprised by a page turner
5By Mandy95136I didn’t expect to enjoy this book. I thought it was going to be cheesy, but I was delighted to find myself reading it late into the night. I flew through the first two books and am eagerly awaiting the third!!!Loved it!
5By LovelyLizzie💛Couldn’t put it down! Awesome and I absolutely love Lorne! We haven’t even gotten to fully know him but I know I love him and I can’t wait to find out Ahiga’s story! Ahhhh can’t rave about it enough! Read it, definitely going to become one of my most recommended books for teens my age!Fantastic sci-fi
5By gingin615A fantastic start to a new sci-fi series with a spectacular heroine in Maité, a halfer that's been in hiding for most of her life and separated from her father who is a leader of the Aunare alien world. Maité and her human mother have been waiting to be rescued after the humans annihilated the Aunares on Earth after years of peaceful coexistence. She's everything you want in a heroine. Tough, smart, lethal when needed, and just a young woman with all the feelings that go with her situation. The combination of her human traits and alien abilities is terrific. She has a bunch of hunky heroes behind her from her human best friend, Roan, to the delectable double agent,Declan, and the alluring Aunare, Lorne. Boy, does he have an affect on Maité with only his voice. Also, the fierce ABQ crew trying to counter the dastardly SpaceTech's evil rule over the inhabitants of Earth. They all work together to get Maité off planet before she's discovered and executed. Her journey is rough, dangerous and often cringeworthy but she's strong and knows to hold on until the plan to get her to her father is successful. She is the key to preventing a war between the species and the doom of Earthers. An unfathomable task for a young halfer. I liked the writing even if at times it was a little wordy in places for me but I was so caught up in the superb storytelling that it was minor. The story moved at a good paced with lots of adventure, danger, suspense and intriguing characters. I can't wait for more of the mysterious Lorne and the hottie Declan and, of course, the truly wonderful Maité/Amihanna. More romance, please. On pins and needles for the next installment in this believable, out-of-this-world, sensational series. Just fabulous! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 starsIntriguing new world
5By RJH OKAileen created a new world that although fictional, is relatable to present day. It was intriguing to live with Maite’ as she struggled for family, friends & self preservation. Her journey of self discovery and strength as she fought the power hungry, corporate elites was inspiring. The characters are colorfully written & fully developed. This is a fun read, can’t wait for the next book.Amazing!!
5By jeremyl1980I love this book - great new series! Can’t wait for the rest
