Description

Dr. Jorna Benton is proud to be the Principal Scientist for the Climasphere, a massive, sea-going ecological nursery capable of supporting nearly every biome on Earth. On its inaugural mission to restore and re-wild collapsing ecosystems along the Atlantic coast, Jorna manages the Climasphere's habitat and harvest, while her colleague-and inconveniently attractive commander-Ava Kaysar directs the rest of the vessel's critical operations.

When an explosion rocks the Climasphere, Jorna's carefully-managed world is thrown into chaos, threatening both her personal and her professional future. And worse: she's the prime suspect.

To clear her name, save the mission, and preserve her chance at a future with Kaysar, Jorna must finally confront the secret she's been running from all these years: a family and a faith that could destroy her.

Critical Reviews

"A sapphic eco-thriller perfect for fans of Becky Chambers and Martha Wells." -Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of the award-winning series Between Earth and Sky

"High-tech, high-ecology, and high-tension family and work relationships all combine in a stunning new story from Lauren C. Teffeau. This adventure for humanity's future survival will win your heart and your mind!" -Fran Wilde, award winning author of A Philosophy of Thieves

"This gripping eco-mystery is a page turner with a no-nonsense romantic interest, a lovable robot companion, and an extraordinary solarpunk setting." -Sarena Ulibarri, award-winning author of Another Life.

"Anyone who says there is no romance in science has never read Lauren C. Teffeau's stories. And I don't just mean the kissy-face kind of romance, I mean that soul-deep longing for understanding and connection to other people and the world we all inhabit. Let this be the future you imagine and work toward building, dear reader." -Curtis C. Chen, bestselling author of True Blue Kangaroo
