Publisher's Synopsis
Giya and the Memory of Mars
Earth's last survivors were promised a new beginning on Mars. They were lied to.
In the crushing grip of the Ares Dominion Corporation, the red planet has become a gilded cage where every breath is taxed, every drop of water measured, and disobedience is crushed beneath mechanized boots. For Giya, a street-smart scavenger eking out an existence in the rust-stained slums of New Ares, survival means keeping his head down and his sister Luma's strange affliction hidden - the silver veins creeping beneath her skin, the way she sometimes speaks in voices not her own.
Everything changes when Luma awakens the Memory Seed - their mother's final, forbidden gift. Suddenly:
- The colony walls bloom with living metal vines that whisper in long-dead languages
- The sky rains memories of Earth's final hours
- And deep below their feet, something ancient begins to stir
As Luma transforms into something neither human nor machine, Giya discovers the Dominion's terrible truth: their so-called utopia was never about saving humanity. It was about controlling it. About remaking mankind into obedient servants for a dying empire. But Mars remembers its past - a time before the Dominion, before humans, before the stars were silent. And its memory is awakening with a vengeance.
Now Giya must choose:
- Fight alongside the Dominion to suppress the planet's rebirth
- Or join the revolution and risk losing Luma to the ancient power growing within her
A heart-pounding sci-fi thriller that blends:
✓ The corporate dystopia
✓ The cosmic horror of Annihilation
✓ The revolutionary spirit
