When the planet herself chooses you as her champion, there's no turning back.
For nearly four hundred years after greed drove civilization to Mars, the survivors left behind on ravaged Mother Earth have struggled to rebuild amongst the ruins.
Atalanta-gifted with the power to control the winds and speak with the planet-leads the crew of the Avalon on missions to restore life to desert wastelands. But when a forest burns and people vanish, Atalanta's crew risks everything to fight back, only to face a truth that shakes everything.
With tension threatening to tear the crew apart, they must find the strength to rally against an enemy with resources beyond their imagination-or watch as everything they've built returns to sand.
