They were told a world had vanished. They discovered it had survived.
For generations, the Odiums have pursued perfection.
They have conquered aging, perfected their bodies, and built a civilization where advancement is everything. To an Odium, flaws are meant to be corrected, limitations are meant to be overcome, and stagnation is the greatest failure.
Then Ele’ele discovers something impossible.
A secret from a forgotten world.
A life that challenges everything she has been taught to perfect.
When the Iracundians learn of her discovery, they demand it be surrendered. But Ele’ele must decide whether to obey a force determined to claim it—or protect something that could change everything her people believe about existence.
Because some discoveries cannot be controlled.
Some truths cannot be erased.
And some encounters have the power to transform who we become.
From the universe of KOLAHNI comes a story of identity, discovery, and the unseen forces that shape who we become.
What makes us who we are may be more powerful than we ever imagined.

The Power of Being Human
