Xanthea of Mars

Xanthea's past survives only in fractured nightmares; her present in the stares her dark hue draws in a pale world. Neither defines her. Only the woman who gave her a life she believes she can never repay.When her lost history collides with the present, new ideologies rise and old safeguards fracture. As the balance sustaining a dying world begins to unravel, the ancient machines that keep Mars alive start to fail.Racing across a drying planet to prevent another apocalypse, Xanthea must decide who she is beyond obligation—and whether saving the world is worth losing the one person who gave her the will to defend it.Because a world that does not remember its past has no future.
