On Noria, survival comes at a cost-one that can never be repaid.
Seventeen-year-old Apollo Hovrick has spent his life trapped under ExoReach's rule, where every breath, every meal, and even birth and death come with a price. No one owns anything, and families sacrifice themselves to erase the crushing debt passed from one generation to the next.
When Apollo discovers a girl outside the dome-a place deemed uninhabitable-his world shatters. Evyn's existence is impossible, yet she and her people thrive beyond the White Desert. As he unravels the truth about Noria, Apollo must decide: remain a cog in the system or risk everything for a life beyond the dome.

Astren
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.
