Fleeing Orithya

Two rivals in love against a dying planet. Among propaganda, red deserts, and arks for the powerful, will they choose love or survival?When the planet of Orithya begins to collapse under the weight of preventive wars, manipulated climate crises and state lies, the network technician Elian Varek knows only one thing: to keep repairing what the powerful try to destroy.Everything changes the night when, between drones and sirens, an enemy capsule falls from the sky. Inside is Lyris Vael, an analyst from the Strategic Archive of the rival nation, injured and hunted because she has stolen dossiers proving the existence of a secret escape to the stars, reserved for a selected few.He is supposed to hand her over. She is supposed to hate him. Instead, locked in a makeshift shelter as bombers fill the sky, the two discover that the stories told by their governments do not match what they see every day in the streets, deserts, and refugee camps. From an underground data hall where the planet's future is reduced to expendability graphs, to the red desert of Orun crossed by endless streams of refugees; from a smuggler's platform hovering over the sand to an orbital station where the elites wait for their place on the ark of survival, Elian and Lyris pursue a single, impossible path: to reach Eirion-7, the secret hub of Project Aurora, before Orithya is permanently left behind. But escaping is not enough. Stepping into the artificial paradise of the privileged means seeing firsthand how cold the heart of a system is that is willing to abandon an entire planet to save a few. And it means choosing whether to become complicit in exchange for survival... or set the ark on fire, risking everything for a different future. The Two Who Fled from Orithya is a romantic and adult science fiction novel, where the epic of global collapse intertwines with a love story born from moral desertion: two enemies raised in opposing nations who learn to trust each other as the world around them breaks down. A journey through propaganda, mass exoduses and secret colonies, to finally arrive at a new planet and face a simple but ruthless question: how does one build a civilization that will not repeat the same mistakes? Perfect for those seeking an emotional space opera, sharp about the shadows of the present, yet capable of offering a true happy ending among the stars.
