In 2050, as climate-driven plagues ravage the world, a new vow binds families—for better or worse, in sickness and health. Engineer Lucía Ramirez, who’s lost her own family, finds a glimmer of hope on the Power Islands, where humanity clings to survival with kelp farms and solar lilies. Matched with a group of resilient, quirky strangers, Lucía is finally close to the sense of belonging she’s yearned for.
But when a power failure and a missing turtle-bot expose strange inconsistencies on Power Island One, Lucía’s instincts pull her into a web of secrets. Every clue she uncovers leads her closer to a dangerous truth—and farther from the home she desperately needs.
Can Lucía protect her new family without losing the chance at one of her own?
