The dome, a sanctuary for many in a frozen hell of a planet called Aurelith, constructed and "maintained" by NeuroCore, a corrupt medical and pharmaceutical company gone mining exploitation of resources and people for yet unknown purposes.

The people in it are known as the Moles. The dome is one of many other colonies around Aurelith, each working to the bone to fulfill the quotas assigned to them, with harsh punishments should they fail to succeed.

Among them, one man, Viktor Lu'bierre, who arrived on this planet under mysterious circumstances 1 year prior, and his continued presence has stirred change for the people and parts of the world itself.

No one knows what his purpose is, or what led him to Aurelith. And through comradery and collaboration, people still see him with an air of suspicion, well earned for his less than usual methods of "getting things done."

The planet holds many secrets, buried between miles of ice and snow. Storm and electromagnetic anomalies hide the northern side of the planet, and what lies beyond the dead lands still remains unknown, as not even the best probes have been able to punch through the thick and mud of the thick, deadly hair up there.

Awaken, Astren.

From the ashes rose the Commonwealth - Eleven systems struggling to survive the aftermath and rebuild civilisation with the remnants of the technology they once had.

In a fateful night after performing a show, she loses control and commits a crime she can't take back. On the run for her life and from the law, the race begins for Allison to find a cure for her curse before it takes her humanity, or worse, her life. The only ones who might know what is going on and be able to help are her parents. Too bad both of them are dead . . . or so she thought. *** This was my project for #NaNoWriMo2020 . The entire novel was written within a month, and I achieved my goal on November 30th. This is a spin-off to Make Them Scream. It can be read as a stand alone story; however, reading this before Make Them Scream will be a spoiler.
