FROM TWELVE-DELTA

Sixteen-year-old Lena has always felt like school is a routine to endure, until a quiet, intensely observant new boy named Kai arrives at Westbridge High. Kai doesn't understand modern slang, flinches at cameras, and calculates the trajectory of everyday noises like a machine. But when Lena catches him staring into the night sky with a look of desperate, hollow grief, she knows he is hiding something massive. And then, during a class trip to the observatory, the impossible happens. Kai casually reveals coordinates to a distant, uncharted star system—and confesses the truth: he isn't human. Fleeing a rigid, emotionless civilization called Astra, Kai came to Earth to finally choose his own path. But falling in love with a human wasn't part of the protocol. As the two grow closer, the countdown begins. A subspace pulse sweeps the local sector, and an alien extraction unit locks onto their coordinates. Kai is forced to make an impossible choice: return to the planet that caged him, or stay with the girl who taught him how to feel—risking everything they both love in the process. Some secrets are too heavy for gravity. Packed with high-stakes sci-fi tension, intense forbidden romance, and unforgettable heart, From Twelve-Delta is a gripping YA romance about the bridges we build across the stars.
