In the 25th century, most humans have died. Symbiont microorganisms colonising human hosts have extended the lifespans of survivors. Humans are functionally immortal. A world keen to avoid further population collapse guarantees the essentials of life to everyone, without exception.
Aaxyl and Aameh live in the welfare dormitories of a dome. Aaxyl raised the fragile Aameh from a young age, and all she wants is for them to be safe and independent. However, when Aameh connects a report of missing persons with a mysterious threat from Aaxyl’s past, her curiosity unravels secrets around an ancient event, and puts them in the crosshairs of the Whisperer.
As Aameh tries to solve the mystery and Aaxyl attempts to keep her safe, they find new allies, rare symbiont abilities and technological advances… and threats.
Will Aaxyl and Aameh succeed?
