After fleeing her controlling and murderous family with her fiancée Vinh, Amara embarks on a colonization project, New Belaforme, along with her childhood friend, Jesse.
The planet, beautiful and lethal, produces the Gray, a “self-cleaning” mechanism that New Belaforme’s scientists are certain only attacks invasive organisms, consuming them. Humans have been careful to do nothing to call attention to themselves until a rival colony wakes the Gray.
As Amara, Vinh, and Jesse work to carve out a new life together, each is haunted by past betrayals that surface, expounded by the need to survive the rival colony and the planet itself.
There’s more than one way to be eaten alive.

Praise for this book
"Intricate world building with characters that feel like people you know in real life. I loved this take on cli-fi and the unexpected way in which humans are, as always, their own worst enemy." - S A Barnes
"A rich, sharp shock of a novella, churning with corrupted love and corrupted nature. This World Is Not Yours may occur galaxies away, but the dread it evokes is anything but alien. Because we all suspect our own version of the Gray is out there, don't we? And we're all preparing for its embrace." - Nat Cassidy
"A herculean work of ambition, This World Is Not Yours is not only a fantastic story of extraterrestrial threats and survival in alien worlds, but also a startlingly accurate examination of interpersonal relationships." - Cassandra Khaw
"A thrilling and intense mixture of love triangle and scientific hubris." - Stina Leicht
