Via Astralis is a daughter of Chief Navigator Patria Astralis, the planetary governor of the Trappist-1E Colony in the Aquarius constellation. As the sixth person in line for the governor's seat after her mother, Via knows that she will never rule, but she has always longed to serve. A keen student of the law, she's just become one of the colony's two detectives, but with only 500 people to oversee planetwide, the job promises to be rather uneventful. When an Ancient scientist is found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning, Via sees a chance to make a name for herself as a real homicide detective. But first, she must convince her boss--dear old Ma--to let her take the case. Unfortunately, Patria doesn't see anything of concern about the death and won't let her open a formal investigation without stronger evidence of foul play. Then Via's grandmother Kaitlyn, another Ancient, dies in her sleep. Now, Via is determined to get to the bottom of who is killing Ancients, and why. To solve the murders and find justice for the victims, she must find her grandmother's consciousness in Trappist-1E's virtual reality Caeles, where the minds of the dead are uploaded at the time of death. There is only one hitch in her plan: to investigate, Via needs her mother's permission... but Via's mother is her prime suspect.Complete
Earth, After ✔️
Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.
