The Eternal Canopy [EPUB ebook] 
A Symphony of Starlight and Seeds

Across a galaxy draped in the emerald glow of the Eternal Canopy, a breathtaking constellation of tree-shaped satellites, life flourishes in a symphony of starlight and seeds.  Within the Canopy’s luminous branches, diverse ecosystems thrive, a delicate web connecting countless worlds. But a creeping blight, subtle as the fading of a dying star, threatens to unravel this cosmic tapestry, plunging dependent star systems into ecological collapse.
On Xylos, a world where bioluminescent trees whisper the wisdom of ancestors, botanist Elara Farrow senses the universe’s disharmony.  Chosen for her deep connection to nature, she is summoned by the Canopy Keepers, an ancient order tasked with its preservation.  Her dying world’s hopes rest on her shoulders as she embarks on a perilous journey into the unknown.
Her path intertwines with Jareth Wilder, a linguist haunted by the fading songs of dormant seed satellites – vessels containing the genetic blueprints for entire ecosystems.  Jareth holds the key to revitalizing the Canopy, but the seeds’ melodies have fallen silent. Driven by a longing to restore the universe’s lost harmonies, he searches for the resonance that will awaken them.
Completing their unlikely trio is Nyx Blackwood, an eccentric engineer whose biodegradable ships, powered by intricate fungal networks, offer a path through the Canopy’s delicate ecosystems. Haunted by a past failure, Nyx sees the Canopy as her chance at redemption, a testament to the power of symbiotic life.
Together, they journey through the ethereal branches of the Eternal Canopy, encountering worlds teetering on the brink of collapse: Aethel, a desert choked by unchecked technology, and Elysia, a paradise lost to invasive species. These stark warnings underscore the interconnectedness of all life and the devastating consequences of imbalance.
As Jareth deciphers fragments of the seeds’ songs, ancient prophecies and warnings emerge, revealing a broken covenant between the Canopy’s creators and the life it sustains. Elara, guided by ancestral wisdom, realizes the Canopy requires not just technical repair but spiritual renewal.  Nyx, initially driven by engineering challenges, awakens to the deeper spiritual dimension of their mission.
Meanwhile, on Xylos, Elara’s sister Lyra fights to preserve their sacred grove, the Whispering Woods, against the encroaching decay, her struggle mirroring Elara’s on a smaller scale.
