Where Are Monsters in Dreams
It is the 26th century, and Earth is nothing but ruins, long abandoned after an intelligence explosion tore humanity apart and drained every valuable resource. Humanity now lives only in the outer solar system. The first colonial ship to escape, The Defiance of Fate, has transformed over centuries into a vast, monolithic world full of wonders outsiders have only dreamed of.
Robert, a nearly fifteen-year-old girl born purely human, lives in orbit around Saturn’s moon Titan. She can’t understand why the people of the past romanticized space after experiencing life on cramped stations and ships every moment of her life. What was it like to feel the sun on your bare skin? To be surrounded by life—countless billions of other living things, some large enough to see with the naked eye? Likely upwards of a trillion species, as she has heard. She longs for a past that might as well be fantasy rather than history.
Locked into a life of permanent servitude to a government she was simply born into, Robert only wants peace with her foster family. But when she discovers a mysterious artifact, her fragile world is upended. Caught between humanity’s fading past and a future ruled by seemingly god-like machines, Robert must embark on a life-or-death journey that will challenge everything she knows about reality, what it means to be human, and the blurry line between memories, reality and dreams.
