Description
On the resource-poor planet of Fortune, two people whose lives are built around care and competence are forced into each other’s orbit—one through quiet, rule-bending compassion, the other through a dangerous gift that connects her to living ships. As Signy, a botanist who bio-prints medicine, and Cora, a rorqual pilot whose bond can turn perilous, navigate a tightening web of risk, trust, and responsibility, their choices begin to reshape what “home” can mean. Told through an alternating timeline that moves from first meeting to a future shadowed by what they’ve survived, the story blends persistent danger with moments of quiet wonder and domestic hope. With Becky Chambers’ signature warmth and human-centered focus, this new duology explores found family, the ethics of survival, and the fragile, transformative power of letting someone in.
