Earth is an ancient myth.
A post-apocalyptic, zodiac-inspired science fiction mystery with a take-no-prisoners female lead who blazes a trail to correct the past.
Earth is long forgotten. Now, on humanity’s new homeworld of Hellen, the god-like Celestials rule with brutal efficiency. When Joss, an Engineward, discovers and reactivates the head of an ancient ghoulem, she finds all is not as intended. Her destiny lies somewhere far beyond the borders of her shantytown, where an abandoned seed of hope waits.
As the Celestials discover the truth about the Terran seed, Libra tries to tip the balance in their favour, and a betrayal in Shiptown puts Gemini on Joss’s trail. Meanwhile, held prisoner in the Atomists’ camp, the ghoulem’s head helps Joss plot an explosive escape—but even success means facing her deepest fears: the shades.
