Paradisi Chronicles: Caelestis Series

In the last decades of the twenty-first century, ten families seeking to escape an increasingly devastated Earth focus their power and wealth on constructing spaceships that will take them through a wormhole and bring them to the Paradisi System in the Andromeda Galaxy. These ten Founding families will colonize the world they call New Eden, hoping to avoid the environmental and political disasters that were destroying Earth. But they discover that the world they claim for their own is already inhabited, and the native Ddaerans, although human in appearance, possess abilities that threaten the very foundation of the Founders vision for the future. The Caelestis series follows Mei Lin Yu, a young Founder, who will discover secrets about the past and a truth about herself that will forever change her own destiny.
