MINDFIRE!

Ruby Ashour has built her career exposing lies powerful people would rather keep buried. When an anonymous tip leads her and cameraman Lark Benton to a supposedly abandoned chemical site in the Mojave, Ruby expects illegal dumping, corporate cover-ups, and another story worth fighting for.
What she finds is something far older-and far more dangerous.
A catastrophic explosion kills Lark, exposes forbidden alien technology, and leaves Ruby impossibly alive. Hunted by government agents and haunted by the footage her friend died to protect, Ruby discovers that the crimson fire awakened inside her is not a mutation. It is an inheritance.
She can sense minds. Bend flame. Command energy. Pilot Horus-1, an experimental ship that recognizes her as its true master. And somewhere beyond Jupiter, ancient enemies called the Betrayers have felt her awakening.
They are coming to finish a war Earth never knew existed.
To survive, Ruby must become more than a witness, more than a fugitive, and more than the last remnant of a forgotten dynasty. She must become Mindfire: Earth's crimson guardian, the living warning no empire can ignore.
Blending investigative thriller, superhero origin story, ancient cosmic mythology, and high-stakes space opera, MINDFIRE! is a fast-paced sci-fi adventure about grief, power, truth, and one woman's refusal to look away when the universe calls for help.
