About this eBook

“In this bleak world, one spark of hope soon turns into an inferno. And just like a fireball, once this story is ignited, it just doesn’t stop.” — Maria V. Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of Navigating the Stars

From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes an action-packed futuristic fantasy romance series: The Aunare Chronicles.

Everything about me is a lie.

When I was six, the Aunare-Earther war broke out. Since then, I’ve survived thirteen years stuck on Earth with my mother, hiding, hunted, knowing that one wrong move could mean our deaths. Earth is high crime, high poverty, high pollution, run by a corporate conglomerate—SpaceTech. The only thing that SpaceTech wants more than money is me.

Alive. Dead. I don’t think SpaceTech cares as long as I’m found. Because I’m the half-Earther daughter of the Head of the Aunare military, the biggest threat to SpaceTech’s authority.

Whenever things get truly bad, I close my eyes and see myself on a beach and hear a man calling out my true Aunare name—the one I can never say aloud. I know whoever that is, he’s home.But I’m nowhere close to home, and I made a mistake—a massive mistake—and no one is coming to save me. I’m going to have to find a way to save myself.

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Off Planet is the first book in an adult fantasy romance series. The Aunare Chronicles takes you from a future Earth to an all new world across the galaxy.

Ratings and reviews

I love a good Sci-fi and this is good sci-fi with Dystopian world where SpaceTech one of the biggest corporation has taken control of all Earth’s governments. Maité is half Aunare has been living on Earth with her mother for ten years. As times moves on it getting harder to hide her abilities. The author has created a world with interesting characters and with plenty of action to keep me glued to the page. Roan is her best friend and has helped her all the years on Earth. I not going to carry on telling you the plot, except to say it kept me reading non stop even in the night as I needed to find out what happens. This is a great world builder as we get to know all players involved. If this is book one then I only have one thing to say is where is book two. I the moment am listening to the Audiobook which is a long one, it bringing to life the characters for me as I work Great read

Solid and interesting science fantasy setting, but while I was expecting some romance as that is one of the genres it is in, the romance elements felt very jarringly out of place when they intruded into the narrative. Additionally the idea of this mystical attraction she has to a character that is at least 10 years older than her is deeply unsettling given the circumstances that he has known her since she was 6.

The pace was perfect, it didn't take long before I was knee-deep in the story. There was no time for me to take a break, every chapter filled with action and suspense. I engaged to the story from the very beginning because the writing was enjoyable, raw, and honest. Erin laid bare every emotion and I was wondering, how could a book punch me with its words? The world-building was great. Yes, I do have questions about how some things in the book work but they're no crucial part so I could go on and still enjoyed the story. Different from what I expected, the world was easy to imagine. This book is nothing without its powerful plot. From what I caught, there were no important plot holes that affected the story. Everything was smooth and jaw-dropping. Overall, Off Planet was a spectacular read. I'm not exaggerating anything, this book is truly amazing.
