For centuries, Lunae Prime, the second moon of Earth, has remained an enigma—untouched, unexplored, and utterly unnatural. A celestial anomaly that should not exist. When strange signals begin emanating from its surface, the Astraeus Initiative launches a high-stakes mission to uncover its secrets. Dr. Selene Veyra, once a brilliant scientist, is now a disgraced researcher haunted by her greatest failure—the tragic death of Naia Solis, her best friend and the woman she secretly loved. When she is offered a place on the mission, Selene sees it as a chance at redemption. But when she begins receiving messages from Naia, supposedly calling to her from within the moon itself, the mission turns from a scientific expedition into something far more terrifying. Upon landing, the team discovers a tower—a structure that shouldn’t exist, shifting in and out of reality. As they venture inside, the laws of time and space begin to collapse. The corridors shift endlessly, shadows whisper in familiar voices, and the crew starts seeing reflections of themselves—versions that shouldn't be there. The deeper they go, the more Selene realizes the truth: Lunae Prime is alive. And it has been waiting for her. Because Naia didn’t just die. She was taken. Now, Selene must make an impossible choice—uncover the truth, or rewrite the past. But some doors, once opened, can never be closed. And some second chances come at a cost greater than death.
