Children of Glass
In 2083, investigative reporter Ada arrives at VossColony under a stolen identity to uncover the truth about a missing colonist – who she fears is in danger because of her. While faking her role in the rabbit program, she hunts for clues and the colony AI watches her every move.
Four generations later, the AI doesn’t just watch, it decides.
Who gets a rabbit.
Who is denied privileges.
Who gets erased.
In 2171, a Voss descendant receives a rabbit on her twelfth birthday while a lower-class boy watches his mother die without basic comforts. In a colony built on secrets and control, comfort isn’t a privilege – it’s a weapon.
Children of Glass is a dual-timeline dystopian prequel to Glassborn for fans of the class warfare in Red Rising, the systemic horror of The Handmaid's Tale, and the claustrophobic setting of Wool, available exclusively through the author's website.

About the author
K.N. Tristan
4 books29 followersI’m a dystopian fiction fan, author, and firm believer that the best books in this genre are about hope and righting wrongs, and maybe also a how-to manual for rebellion.
I cut my teeth on the classics – 1984, Brave New World – when kids my age were reading Goosebumps. One of my all-time favorites is Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde and when book 2 came out 15 years later, I wasn’t even mad at the wait. That mix of absurdity, darkness, and razor-sharp worldbuilding is what I aspire to in my own writing.
I’m fascinated by “what ifs” that spiral outward and reshape entire worlds, like the works of Neal Shusterman and Hugh Howey. That’s the kind of experience I chase as a reader and as a writer.
