Genesis Era

4024 A.D. Two star-crossed lovers attempt to bring an end to a century-long war between their families, unavoidably haunted by severe crossroads of decisions in order to sacrifice one thing for another. Humanity has progressed to the Space Age, expanding great empires led by aristocratic clans across solar systems in the Galaxy. With greater power came greater demands for better technology, which ultimately led to a fearsome battle for supremacy and survival of every family and faction brave enough to hold a position of politics. From space exploration to interstellar mining, everyone wants a significant piece of the pie - either for attacking and conquering new lands and celestial bodies to call their own, or defending against hungering rivals waiting to strike at the most unpredictable moment in time. With the end of the Diplomatic Era, only seventeen great families have emerged victorious. The rest were consumed or subdued to their leadership and command. This is the Genesis Era - a dawn of a new age. Can the protagonists utilize this moment to overcome their differences and finally put an end to the calamities caused by bitter competition? Can they set a new example for humanity guided by unity? Can they live amidst the turmoil of their governments cannibalizing each others' citizens? Or will they remain star-crossed forever as a failure duo, forgotten into the void of twinkling stars? To find out, start reading!
