When Ariadne escapes the isolated compound where she was created, she becomes a liability her corporate creators cannot afford to lose. Engineered to survive worlds humanity was never meant to inhabit, Ariadne is tracked, captured, and folded into a system that sees her not as a person, but as proof of concept.
On the distant world of Kephri-9, Elias Thane is fighting his own quiet rebellion. Bound to planet-shaping technology that answers only to him, Elias begins to uncover life beneath the surface, life corporate oversight insists does not exist, and orders him to erase anyway.
When Ariadne is sent to watch him, control him, and report his failures, they discover something neither of them were meant to find:
-
a living world,
-
a hidden truth,
-
and a choice that could destroy them both.
In a universe ruled by corporations, missions are mandatory.
Hope is dangerous.
And love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.
Silent Systems Book Two continues the series that began with Silent Systems: Demeter.
