When Worlds Collide: Ella & Kareth
Es gibt schlechtere Tage, als achthundert Jahre in die Zukunft entführt zu werden. Zum Beispiel den Tag danach.
Ella Schwarz hat drei Probleme.
Die Mechanikerin wurde aus dem Jahr 2025 in eine ferne Zukunft entführt.
Sie sitzt auf einem Wüstenplaneten fest, auf dem Menschen eigentlich gar nicht existieren dürften.
Kareth Veskal.
Ein übergroßer Alienkrieger mit Prothese, Kontrollzwang und der emotionalen Zugänglichkeit einer Betonwand.
Kareth hält Gefühle für eine Schwäche. Ella hält wenig davon, sich von ihm Vorschriften machen zu lassen. Trotzdem wächst zwischen ihnen langsam etwas, das keiner von beiden erwartet Vertrauen.
Und mit diesem Vertrauen verändert sich mehr als nur ihre Beziehung. Je länger Ella unter den Vel'korr lebt, desto mehr wird aus einer unfreiwilligen Reise ein Leben, das sie eigentlich nie hätte führen dürfen.
Doch ausgerechnet als sie glaubt, endlich angekommen zu sein, geraten beide in eine Verschwörung, die nicht nur ihre Zukunft, sondern ganze Sternensysteme bedroht.
Als Loyalitäten zerbrechen und die Galaxie an den Rand des Abgrunds gerät, könnte ausgerechnet ihre Verbindung alles verändern.
Oder alles zerstören.

There is something about a story where the main character is unexpectedly thrown into a completely different world that immediately grabs my attention, and this book definitely delivered on that front.
Ella Schwarz is a mechanic from 2025 who suddenly finds herself eight hundred years in the future, stranded on a desert planet where humans should not even exist. As if that is not enough to deal with, she also has to figure out how to survive in an unfamiliar place surrounded by aliens and navigate life alongside Kareth Veskal, a powerful alien warrior who is stubborn, guarded, and definitely not the easiest person to get along with.
Kareth is the kind of character who keeps his feelings locked away and believes showing emotion is a weakness. Ella, on the other hand, is not someone who will quietly follow orders just because someone thinks they are in charge. Their personalities make for an interesting dynamic, and I really enjoyed the idea of two completely different individuals slowly learning to trust each other despite their differences.
What I found especially appealing was how Ella's situation gradually became about more than simply surviving in a strange new world. As she spends more time with the Vel'korr, she begins to build a life she never expected to have. Watching her find a sense of belonging while trying to understand the circumstances that brought her there adds another layer to the story.
Of course, things cannot stay peaceful for long. A much bigger conspiracy begins to unfold, putting not only Ella and Kareth at risk but also threatening entire star systems. The stakes become much higher, and their growing connection becomes even more important as everything around them starts to fall apart.
I absolutely adore stories where the main character gets stranded somewhere unexpected and has to find their way in a world they know nothing about. Add in an alien warrior with a complicated personality, a slow developing connection, and a dangerous situation that keeps getting bigger, and you have the kind of story that really appeals to me.
If you enjoy science fiction romance with an unfamiliar world, strong personalities, emotional development, and plenty of danger along the way, this sounds like a story worth picking up.
