Synopsis:Rontu knows how to survive. Bryn asks questions. On Sinth, where your DNA contains relics of a past civilization, identity is a gamble. Glass is food. Food is money. Money doesn't last long. Rontu fights to stay alive in the moment, but Bryn is drawn toward something deeper-- Why? After a routine glass extraction goes wrong, the pair find themselves deep within the planet's network, where no human has tread before, and were clearly not meant to go. Rontu's instincts tell them to leave. Bryn keeps going. Because there's only one thing on her mind as she descends deeper into the planet, and she'll pay any price for it. Escape. Not from the pit below. From the system above. But Sinth has one rule. Everything costs double. What To Expect:Evolution that makes you "marketable." Deeply flawed, but hopeful characters. Machine systems disguised as ecology. Finding what keeps you alive in a world meant to kill you. LGBTQ+ Themes This work is also available on WattPad and Honeyfeed.
