They left a vibrant world for one of struggle and dust.
Will dreams and hope be enough when tragedy strikes?

Having chased bold dreams toward humanity's future, Leana, Luis, and their children flourished on an unforgiving Mars. The arrival of the fledgling colony's first wave of settlers heralds the end of their two-year isolation, and the start of a new era.

Their joyous new beginning is shattered when Earth suffers an unimaginable catastrophe leaving them stranded, cut off from the resources of their former home, and in a brutal fight for survival complicated by struggles for power and control.

Leana steps up to help the colonists navigate their crushing collective loss and guide their fractured society toward an uncertain future. Can she find the strength and the hope not just to carry on, but to rise above despair and an indifferent planet and leave their children more than martian dust?
