Emissary Wound: A Standalone Science Fiction Thriller

To save a dying world, she had to open a door to a new one. She never considered who might be waiting on the other side.
Dr. Ilia Noor Reed is a brilliant physicist haunted by her father's disgraced legacy and driven by a single, desperate goal: to save her planet from its slow, suffocating collapse. Her controversial theory that primordial black holes are gateways to other universes is her last hope, but it has ostracized her.
Until she finds one.
The discovery of a stable, traversable wormhole is a miracle that could offer humanity a new beginning. Backed by a shadowy corporate-state organization that wants to control her discovery, and watched by her enigmatic keeper, Arthur Finch, Evelyn builds the machine that will open the door. She stakes her career, freedom, and sanity on what lies beyond.
But Luminaris is not the empty, untouched paradise she dreamed of. It is home to an ancient and powerful intelligence--a Custodian of reality with a chilling verdict: humanity is a contagion, and Dr. Ilia Noor is the first symptom of a plague it will eradicate.
When she discovers the gateway is not a stable bridge but a mortal wound, bleeding both realities dry and threatening to annihilate both worlds, her mission of salvation becomes a race for survival. Trapped between a universe that wants to erase her and a handler who wants to control her, Dr. Ilia Noor must confront the ultimate cost of her ambition.
Is saving your world worth damning another?
A mind-bending psychological thriller wrapped in high-concept science fiction, The Emissary Wound is a relentless, page-turning journey into the darkness between worlds. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch's Dark Matter and Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary.
One door. Two worlds. Zero escape.
