The genre-bending first book in The Symmetry Chronicles
A rare story that weaves the wonders of genetics into the fabric
of an entirely new world—and asks what it truly means to be human. “Favored are the peacemakers. They shall be named the children of the One."
— Doyen Texts, Chron 5.40.5.9
Many generations after the Genic Murrain left Anderia scarred and divided, the world clings to a fragile order. Above the ravaged surface, the Con-Servs orbit in crystalline sanctuaries, purifying their genome and preparing for the Return. Below, the Liberanz and Disruptors scratch out survival in the ruins of a civilization they barely remember.
Starla Mossett has spent her life chasing a single, impossible vow — to end death itself. A Science Priestess of rare brilliance, she engineered the PeaceMakers: hologanic defenders built to protect her people. But when her Journey to the surface shatters everything she has been taught to believe, she discovers that the enemy her world has hunted for generations is not what it seems.
Joal Daniyel, commander of a ragged militia, wants one thing: to stop the coming annexation before it wipes out every inhabiter within reach. He doesn't trust Con-Serv constructs — least of all one who helped design the weapons used against his people.
Thrown together by circumstance and a Father neither expected, Starla and Joal must choose between the worlds that shaped them and the truth that is unraveling both.
Set on Anderia—a world scarred by the long corruption of a genetic plague—The Symmetry Chronicles represent the continuing story of hope and restoration; a tale of personal and cultural transformation.
