Syren

The first book in the Syren series. Part of The Syren Project (est. 2022).
An entirely original sci-fi series.

After a severe and deadly virus outbreak, the planet of Triene is left with a volatile and violent political atmosphere. Following the total, permanent quarantine of their planet, the residents of Triene rise up in a rebellion that leaves tens of thousands more dead, and a large portion of stored resources destroyed.

The calm after the storm comes to rest across the remaining population slowly comes to terms over the destruction. All except the Star Pilots, a group whose profession once reserved the right to navigate the stars, who are now just as trapped as the rest of the planet. Plots arise to escape the atmospheric prison, shared through ancient radio lines across the surface of Triene.

A small farming community in the Poyria Desert stumbles across a recording of some of the traitorous messages, sending the best-suited of their group to investigate the threats and begin the shut-down of the pilots' operation.

Our story follows Caitlin, a chicken farmer, her syren Spyral, and Ly'Ka, the 5'2" scrap merchant who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, as they make their valiant trip across the desert to put an end to the traitorous plot.
