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.

Dust
All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.

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.

However, the entire society is shocked when a human boy is discovered on the other side of Sanctuary's walls. He was named Rex. Possessing no recollection of his past he decides to start life anew. But fragmented images in his mind call for him to leave once more. Rex, along with his adoptive brother, decides to join the Seeker Corps, a group dedicated to surveying the outside in hopes of finding humanity's next home. Survival is key to protecting those who he holds dear and discovering the truth of his mysterious origin. This is a tale of souls seeking to defy a seemingly already decided future.
