On a rewilded Earth, ten-year-old Xan is rescued from a flooding cove by Arnav, an Eden warden—and selected for a life among the stars.
Taken from his coastal home to the Moon, Mars, and Callisto, Xan grows into an interpreter of worlds, helping humanity prepare for contact with an intelligence beneath Europa’s ice.
But when his friends Thea and Itago salvage a derelict vessel, they uncover records suggesting that Xan’s education—and the futures of dozens of children—were shaped by a hidden program. The discovery leads him to Rill, another selected child whose return home was quietly made impossible.
As Xan confronts the systems that raised him and the family he left behind, he must decide who has the right to speak for a community, a planet, or an entire species.
A thoughtful science-fiction story about belonging, consent, and the cost of being chosen.
