About this item
[New Adult Fiction (Ages 18 - 25) ] [*Read by the author - Emma Newman] From Emma Newman, the award nominated author of Between Two Thorns, comes a novel of how one secret withheld to protect humanity's future might be its undoing. Renata Ghali believed in Lee Suh-Mi's vision of a world far beyond Earth, a planet promising to reveal the truth about our place in the cosmos, untainted by overpopulation, pollution, and war. Ren believed in that vision enough to give up everything to follow Suh-Mi into the unknown. More than twenty years have passed since Ren and the rest of the faithful braved the starry abyss and established a colony at the base of an enigmatic alien structure where Suh-Mi has since resided, alone. Ren has worked hard as the colony's 3-D printer engineer, creating the tools necessary for human survival in an alien environment -- and harboring a devastating secret.
