The Story
A world that should be impossible.
They crossed eleven light-years looking for humanity’s next home. They found a world that had been waiting for them.
Haven should be impossible. Breathable air. Endless forests. Vast oceans. A world almost perfectly suited for human life—and a second chance for an overcrowded Earth.
But beneath Haven’s untouched wilderness, engineer Evan Mercer and the crew of Wayfarer discover the remains of an advanced civilization—and an ancient machine still running beneath the ruins. When the mysterious medallion Evan’s family has passed down for generations unlocks it, the machine recognizes him.
YOU HAVE COME BACK.
In an instant, Haven, Evan and his crew are carried nearly four centuries forward. Everyone they left behind should be dead, and the only path home may be the same ancient network that stranded them.
Because Haven was never waiting to be discovered. It was waiting for someone to return.
