Cassandra Jameson has spent most of her life in the grey, suffocating bunkers of a dead Earth, haunted by dreams of a green world that no longer exists. Now, she has been drafted into Team 58—a squad of misfits, legends, and liabilities—and sent to the toxic, uncharted jungles of Planet 81. Their orders are simple: Retrieve the "Aether," a mysterious energy source that promises to save the Northern Nation. But as Cassandra navigates a planet filled with camouflaged nightmares and deadly storms, she realizes the alien monsters aren't the only threat. Memories of a life before the war claw at her sanity, and the command she serves views her as nothing more than an expendable asset. Worse still, the numbers don't add up. The intel is wrong. And among the ten soldiers dropping into the void, one is hiding a secret that could get them all killed. In a war where humanity is the currency, the hardest choice isn't how to survive—it's deciding who to trust.
