Starbound Orphans

The Tower Trials

Only the strongest survive the Tower.

In a galaxy ruled by alien conquerors, survival isn’t guaranteed—it’s earned.

Four teenage orphans—Ivo, Silas, Penelope, and Elias—are thrust into a deadly tournament that will determine who lives… and who dies. The prize? A place aboard the alien spaceship known as the Tower.

But the Tower holds secrets darker than death itself. As the teens train to master impossible challenges, Ivo discovers fragments of a hidden past that may reveal he’s more than human. Silas wrestles with his identity as a human clone, Elias battles a life-threatening condition, and Penelope hides a dangerous secret of her own.

With rebellion stirring on Earth and enemies lurking at every turn, the friends must rely on their courage, cunning, and each other—or be consumed by the Tower’s trials.

For fans of Hunger Games, Red Rising, and Dune, this gripping YA sci-fi thriller delivers high-stakes survival, shocking secrets, and a found-family adventure that will keep you turning pages.
