Phoros Nexus

When Ancient Secrets Turn Deadly, Trust Becomes the Ultimate Gamble

Mira Graves just wanted to catalog alien artifacts in peace until she discovered her previous boss's body and a conspiracy that reaches back millions of years.

Six months into her dream job as an archivist aboard the Lutum Repository, Mira has learned to navigate office politics, demanding bosses, and the painstaking work of preserving relics from an extinct civilization. But when a mysterious substance called phoros begins appearing in her research, she realizes the repository's greatest treasures aren't just scientifically valuable. They're worth murdering for.

Now her former supervisor lies dead on the fifth floor, clutching a stolen artifact. Her files keep disappearing from her workstation. And a sweet-faced aunt asking for help might be the most dangerous person on the station. As Mira digs deeper into excavated artifacts that powerful people want hidden, she uncovers evidence of an alien species whose secrets could transform or destroy humanity. Mira must decide: how much truth is she willing to risk her life to uncover?

Perfect for fans of Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries, Phoros Nexus combines archaeological mystery with high-stakes science fiction intrigue.
