Humanity finally found a habitable world. Then they discovered what was buried beneath it. Geologist Mira Castellan’s survey reveals a rare-earth deposit capable of launching twelve future colonies across the stars. But extracting it will poison Threshold-1 within decades, destroying the very planet humanity hoped would become home. As political factions form and the colony fractures around competing visions of survival, Mira finds herself trapped between science and responsibility. Every report she submits changes how the future will be understood —and possibly which future survives.
