About this series
In the depths of a forgotten planet, Ziran, a dying colony teeters on the edge of oblivion.

Zosimos, the chosen one, grows at an unnatural pace, his mind ablaze with extraordinary abilities. But an encounter with a mysterious plant unleashes a tempest of anger within him, and instead of becoming a savior, he transforms into something they never expected.
Amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerges. Vallena, with her life-saving discovery, and Kelv, a sage bound to the path of nonviolence, become the last chance to salvage a future from the ashes.
Can they unlock the secrets to healing the poisoned land and quell Zosimos's wrath before it consumes them all?
Will the colony find salvation, or will they succumb to the haunting forces that threaten their very existence?
