The Aetherion Code: Book One: The Spark

By Bellamy Young and Fay Masterson

SOMETIMES, ONLY THE YOUTH CAN SEE THE TRUTH.

In 2053, whether you live in Zimbabwe, South Korea, or America, the clouds all look the same.You are living in the world of Atlas Hawkins. After a catastrophic world war, he controls how most people think and act. And yes, he even controls the weather.If you're a teenager, wherever you are, your every move is monitored, and you must not step out of line. Even the smallest transgression will get you sent to the new juvenile penal colony on Mars: Camp Constellation.But nineteen-year-old Hester is not your average teenager. She is on a secret mission that she's willing to risk everything for - and believes the newest AI being used as therapy bots at the camp on Mars might just hold the key.Life at Constellation is a far cry from what Hester imagined it would be, though. She's thrown together with a group of juvies who are forced to confront not only their sins, but also their strengths. They realize this place might just turn out to be everything they wish Earth could be.That is, if they can get out alive.

Serving time on Mars is one thing- but this just got WAY more complicated.

Join us for this female led coming-of-age story. Set in a dystopian future against a backdrop of Mars colonization, our group of teen rebels and the latest Artificial Intelligence robots come together when they realize the fate of Earth might just be in their hands.
