Seven Skies

Earth has been all but destroyed, its population nearly wiped out. Those wealthy or fortunate enough fled the planet altogether once it was clear there would be no fixing the damage that had been done. So they made themselves a peaceful living on the newly discovered Genesis, abandoning their old technologies for a more simplistic lifestyle, in hopes of preserving their new planet. But that fragile balance is destroyed when a fleet of Earthdwellers who had remained sought refuge on Genesis, too. They were mistrusted and unwelcome, bringing only strife and illness in their coming. When unfamiliar pathogens are introduced to the life there, a plague breaks out among the people. It is then that Jay and Rea, two young ones with an inkling for adventure, leave their village and all they are familiar with in search of a cure. But when an elder of their village imprints them with strange markings before their departure, their troubles go beyond finding a bit of medicine. What are these odd symbols in their skin? And what exactly are they capable of? Whether they be a blessing or a curse is yet to be determined, but one thing is for certain: they are not to be underestimated.
