Forbidden Love - Awakened Hearts

StaceSteele Science Fiction

When Ariella Quell awakens after six centuries in cryostasis, she finds herself in what appears to be a museum on the alien world of New Nova. Her memories are fragments—a fortune teller's prophecy, a nightclub called Le Glow, and green eyes like shattered starlight. But the most devastating truth comes when she learns she and Prince Costa have been awakened and memory-wiped three times over 600 years, their love deemed too dangerous to exist.
Ariella believes she's human, but as her abilities awaken, the truth emerges: she's a hybrid, daughter of the long-lost Princess Celeste of Solmere. Her very existence threatens the rigid separation between humans and Novans that has kept New Nova's ruling Council in power for centuries.
When Costa awakens in his own chamber, their incomplete soul bond—interrupted during an ancient binding ritual—begins to reassert itself. As they flee through the impossible architecture of Voidhaven to complete what was begun 600 years ago, they discover their love story was never just about them. They were meant to be living proof that the two species could evolve together.
But Lord Vexan and the Inner Circle will stop at nothing to maintain the separation that preserves their power. As Ariella's royal heritage is revealed and her hybrid abilities fully manifest, she and Costa must complete their binding ritual in the mystical Nexus—the same place where they were torn apart centuries before.
Their love has survived 600 years of imprisonment, three memory wipes, and the collapse of civilisations. Now, as ancient networks reawaken across New Nova, Ariella and Costa's completed bond threatens to change not just their world, but the very nature of what it means to be human—or alien.
A sweeping alien romance about love that transcends time, species, and the forces determined to keep them apart.
Perfect for fans of alien romance, fated mates, and epic love stories that span centuries.
