The story

Beneath
the glass.

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.

An excerpt

“The difference between a politician and House Fira is this…”

“We are the gods of this land,
not the servants of its people.”
