    Summary

    Trish survived Solstice. She survived the prison, the revolution, the long winter, and most important of all, she survived the Affini. So many others were taken, domesticated, made into nothing more than pets for humanity's new overlords, but Trish escaped that fate. Entrusted with a plan to keep the last embers of humanity's freedom alive, she labored for decades to make those plans a reality — but now the past is catching up with her, in more ways than one.

     

    Haven did not choose to be a scion of the hyper-wealthy elite, nor did she choose a father obsessed with his own progeny, and she certainly didn't choose to inherit his genetic legacy. Cast adrift on the tides of time by her father's cryogenic Hail-Mary attempt to evade the Affini, she awakens in a future dominated and defined by the Compact, where the only humans left who remember how things used to be are her now-elderly peers. Having spent her entire life wishing she had the courage to end everything, now she's faced with a new beginning, whether she wants it or not.

    Summary

    Its been a year since the Terran Accord formally surrendered to the Affini Compact, and David is torn. On the one hand, fighting against the Affini Compact is the right thing to do, especially if he asked his new friends in the rebellion. But on the other, the terran he had met online was giving some pretty compelling reasons to embrace his new planty overlords.

    Unfortunately for him, he may have little choice in the matter.
