The Last Hour Of Gann

Amber Bierce takes the one-way trip to a new colony world hoping to leave her grief and stagnant life behind, dragging her sister Nicci along. When their ship crashes on the planet Gann, killing thousands of colonists, the handful of survivors are left with almost nothing — until they encounter Uyane Meoraq, an indigenous warrior-priest who holds their survival in his hands.

R. Lee Smith builds a sprawling alien-world romance out of Amber and Meoraq's evolving relationship, moving from open hostility to an unlikely, hard-won bond as they face Gann's brutal environment and Meoraq's own rigid beliefs together.
