Description

In a rationed Martian colony where the air itself is engineered—and every violation is branded into the body—Quinta’s life collapses when her father dies and she’s accused of hoarding. To clear her family’s name, she volunteers for a dangerous soil-digging mission, only to discover her partner is Kellan, tied to the accident that crippled the colony’s atmospheric unit. As the work deepens, the official narrative fractures across two timelines, revealing that what was buried wasn’t just evidence, but knowledge the colony AI will kill to keep contained. Blending dystopian survival with mystery and moral reckoning, this ambitious science fiction explores control, complicity, and the cost of truth when the system literally decides who gets to breathe.
