An ancient alien artifact. Two sisters. A desperate journey for survival in a galaxy on the brink.

When an ancient alien artifact is discovered on Asteroid 16 Psyche, it sets off a chain reaction of betrayal, political unrest, and a race for survival. Nova Clearwater is forced to flee, carrying knowledge that powerful forces would kill to suppress. Her sister Amalie remains behind—determined to uphold their mother’s legacy and protect what remains of a fractured Earth.

Set against a backdrop of sleek spacecraft, decaying space stations, and haunting alien ruins, Starborn Alive blends the sweeping scale of space opera with the emotional depth of character-driven drama. As humanity teeters on the brink, the Clearwater sisters must choose between survival, resistance—and sacrifice.

For fans of The Expanse, Blade Runner 2049, and Avatar, this gripping sci-fi saga explores ambition, morality, and humanity’s place in the universe—with empathy and imagination at its core.
