Volistad by Ashley L. Hunt

She was ready for anything, but not for this brutal Alien War…

Joanna Angeles is a Former, one of many young people trained after a terrible war to terraform distant alien worlds. She was told she would be securing the future of humanity against coming ever coming so close to extinction again. But her task seems much less grand when she finds herself trapped in a frozen hell. With only an artificial intelligence riding along in her mind for company, Joanna has ten years to prepare a home for thousands of people- and she’s the only hope they have.

Volistad is a Ranger, a warrior and hunter of the ever-dwindling Erinye people. Born with a savage nature and trained to destroy any possible threats to his tribe, Volistad still dares to look beyond and marvel at the arrival of a strange new god on his homeworld. If he wants to unravel the mysteries of this otherworldly newcomer, he must defy the will of his tribe’s elders and face the “god” on her own turf.

When the two worlds collide, Joanna and Volistad find themselves caught up in an old conflict, a war whose roots stretch back to the birth of the planet they are fighting over. To survive, they will both have to come to terms with ancient dark secrets, and come to terms with parts of themselves that they’ve hidden from everyone- but perhaps not from each other?

Can Joanna make a home in this hellish landscape for the people that are depending on her? Can Volistad save his people from certain doom at the hands of their own past? What connection can people so different from each other find in a world gone mad?
