Hope and love are rooms, not streets.
On Luna, nothing stays buried.
Alexis Klein grew up in a farmhouse that left bruises—not just on her skin, but in the part of her that expected to be abandoned. Her only anchor is Kelli Day, her best friend since they were five, the girl who throws rocks at her when she spirals and holds her hand when she stops.
When Kelli leaves for university on Mars, Alex does the only thing that makes sense: she joins the Moon Guns.
She doesn't expect to find Sam Randolph there—quiet, stubborn, the kind of man who gives you his boots in the mud and doesn't ask for anything back. She doesn't expect him to become her partner. She doesn't expect Kelli to come home and fall in love with him. And she certainly doesn't expect the three of them to build something on Luna that feels, for the first time in any of their lives, like a home.
Then the past comes looking for them.
As old secrets surface beneath Luna's protective Veil, the fragile peace they've built begins to crack. The institutions they trust start asking impossible things. People disappear. Faith becomes weaponized. And the family they've fought so hard to create finds itself caught in the path of forces far older—and far more dangerous—than anyone realizes.
They've survived loneliness. They've survived loss.
Now they'll have to survive the truth.
Moon Gun Sam: The Dolphin Vow is the opening volume of a sacred science-fiction family saga—gothic, grounded, and stubbornly human.
For readers who enjoy found-family science fantasy, ancient mysteries, and mythic adventures with heart.
Hopecore, with teeth.
