About this ebook
Tessa, a “shipsider” genetically unsuited for life on the gravity-bound colony of Newest York, faces a future where her body—and her very existence—are a liability. Defying expectations, she becomes the voice of resistance for the marginalized shipsiders, those unwilling to sacrifice themselves for a planet-bound dream. With its Shakespearean echoes of King Lear and The Tempest, That Fatal Discontent dives into the storm of ambition, betrayal, and loyalty.
