It Takes Death to Reach a Star

In the desolate aftermath of the Third World War, the surviving city of Etyom stands as a stark divide between two factions: the Robusts, immune descendants of the poor, and the Graciles, bio-engineered scions of the wealthy. Set in 2251, the story follows Mila Solokoff, a Robust information trader caught in a ruthless deal, and Demitri Stasevich, a Gracile harboring a dangerous secret. As their paths intertwine amid a perilous conspiracy that threatens humanity's future, they face life-altering choices that could either save or condemn their world.
