Requiem

Read A Free Science Fiction Story You Can’t Put Down

In the vast expanse of the solar system, where dreams collide with harsh realities, Melanie Destin seeks solace from the turmoil of a war-torn Terra. Determined to carve a new destiny for herself, she arrives on Luna, her heart brimming with anticipation for a fresh start. But Luna, with its promise of opportunity, quickly becomes a struggle against the gravitational pull of her troubled past.

Despite her formidable talents, Melanie finds herself tethered to a humbling role, offering medical aid at a free clinic. Disheartened and on the brink of surrender, fate intervenes in the form of an unexpected offer. A grizzled captain of an interstellar freighter seeks a new medical officer, and Mel seizes the opportunity to finally escape her circumstances, little realizing the depths of the criminal world she enters.

Bound by the threads of chance and necessity, Melanie embarks on an interplanetary journey where every heartbeat resonates with the pulse of danger and adventure. Amidst the cosmic expanse, she’ll confront perilous challenges, forge unbreakable bonds, and unearth the secrets that she hides from herself.

“Requiem” is a gripping space opera novella that catapults readers into a universe brimming with intrigue, wonder, and the relentless pursuit of hope. Join Melanie Destin as she navigates the celestial currents of fate, forging her legacy among the stars.

Requiem is the prequel novella for The Destin Chronicles series.
