Weightless Rose

Evelyn is the Federation's most acclaimed musical sensation, embarking on a diplomatic tour that ends in disaster when parasitic insectoids ambush her shuttle. Crashing onto desolate planet K-17, she is pulled from the wreckage by Carlisle, an exiled heir wrestling with uncontrollable genetic mutations. While surviving monster swarms and subterranean cave-ins, Carlisle discovers that Evelyn's unique biological scent calms his savage condition, while Evelyn uncovers that her pendant unlocks an ancient planetary defense network. Returning to the capital under the guise of an arranged alliance, the unlikely partners prepare to unmask high-ranking politicians covertly infected by alien parasites before an invasion fleet annihilates humanity.
