Salvation and Doom: The Cathardi Prophecy by Charles Jones

A shattered Earth. A reluctant hero. A prophecy that could save—or doom—the galaxy.
Josh never asked to be humanity’s last hope. Haunted by loss and hunted by the alien Urlak, he escapes Earth’s destruction with only his guilt and a mysterious companion named Liria. She believes he’s the key to fulfilling the Cathardi Prophecy—a legend that promises salvation for her people. But Josh isn’t ready to be anyone’s savior.
As war looms and secrets unravel, Josh must navigate his own doubts and fears to become the hero he never wanted to be. But with the fate of two civilizations hanging in the balance, will he rise to the challenge, or will everything fall?
