Born from stardust and quiet rebellions,
Mother Comet is a sanctuary for speculative and literary fiction.
We birth stories of the myths we weave to survive collapse, and the fierce spirits brave enough to set them ablaze.
Pl. I — Alarine, beneath the glass, as the Scarlet Comet falls
When the Scarlet Comet leaves the world in ruins, what remains of humanity retreats to Alarine — a city sealed beneath glass and ruled by House Fira. Here, a single measure decides everything: the Bio-Purity Index determines who works, who receives medical care, and who is allowed to breathe clean air.
Larya, a young medical student, uncovers the truth: the system was built to protect the privileged. As Sovereign Ruler Cynthia Fira tightens the purity laws, Kisandra and the ÆNA Vault forge a new kind of power — built on money, technology and research — and turn it against the old regime.
Having seen the gulf between life inside the dome and life beyond it, Larya faces an impossible choice: stay silent, or expose a truth that could free thousands — and destroy Alarine.
Behind the glass, every face hides something. Scarlet Ray comes to print in paperback, illustrated with original artwork by Yura Sinvat.

not the servants of its people.”
