Rate this book
Raised in the militant society of Argos, Sammy always dreamed of descending below the planet Theia’s surface to eliminate the aggressive demons that nearly wiped out the colony years in the past. When she’s disgraced and expelled from a prestigious military academy, Sammy abandons her clan to make a name for herself and restore her honor.

Devan Seran is a talented but awkward engineer who’s found his place maintaining the aging infrastructure of the floating city of Helios. His comfortable but ordinary life is forever disrupted when he discovers information about an approaching catastrophe that threatens to destroy his home. When the information is covered up by his superiors, Devan decides to prove the threat is real and prevent the disaster.

Hired by Devan, Sammy escorts him into the abandoned original colony to find the evidence he needs. Facing the constant danger from the harsh environment, savage demons, and Devan’s powerful employer, they struggle in their efforts to find the truth in the untamed tunnels below the city of Helios.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Throwback Thursday Book Review

Just a little throw back book review for you! Most of you haven’t heard of this book, but let me assure you it is great!! I read this in 2022 when it came out and I really enjoyed it. In this book we have an unlikely duo, a computer wiz and a trained protector/fighter that come together to save their colony. The author does such a great job with the world building in this futuristic world. I could imagine the city and the people and creatures in it. I was immediately drawn to the different characters and enjoyed their banter and cheered for their success. This is book one of three and I have enjoyed them all!

Quote: “Stories danced in her head; epic tales proclaiming the bravery of dozens of her kin since then. Each of them had joined the never-ending fight to retake the colony tunnels from the demons, still infesting the mines below the cities floating in the skies above the planet's surface. She vowed that when she returned home, her name would be added to the white stone tablets here, a witness to her own courage and a testament to her honor.”

A few things to look forward to in the pages of this book:
👾 Savage demons
⚠️ Constant danger
🪐 Sci-fi twist
🗝️ Secrets
‼️ Dual POV
⚔️ Epic battles
