Breakout by Alek L. Cristea7/7/2023 As a child on Kirillion, he fell through the cracks and wound up in the Guild. If he acts, he could lose everything, but if surviving Eden One has taught him anything, it’s that every revolution begins with a single spark of courage. Allowing Trystan a taste of freedom, even if in secret.īut everything on Eden One is twisted, so it should come as no surprise when he stumbles upon the terrible project his uncle is working on, with Trystan’s own father at the helm. Using forbidden alien technology, Trystan’s uncle builds him an android, allowing him to split his consciousness between his real and synthetic bodies. With his father rising in power and his mother cowed, Trystan’s only ally is his uncle, a man who keeps Trystan’s deadly secret safe. Trystan hates Eden One, a radical colony built upon antiquated ideology and conservative hate. He has a plan (sort of), but when Malek’s bid for escape collides with the secret agenda of another prisoner-a Shinarian girl in hiding from her people-she presents him with a choice: trust her and finally leave Helios, or get caught in the crossfire alone. But after two years of unfair imprisonment, Malek is getting out, one way or another-and he’s taking his new friends with him. There’s only one problem: Malek’s in prison, and nobody leaves Helios alive. Malek has always dreamed of his own ship, of following in his amma’s footsteps and leading a crew through the stars.
