Venus
"Ever since
I took my first breath, my planet has been trying to kill me. Every day the sun
rises, a harbinger of life and death. It powers our canopy beasts, cherished by
my people, for which they would give both life and blood. A land of wolves: where
government and criminals alike prey upon the defenceless. A land where
predators stalk their victims in the heat of the day, and in the dead of night.
This is Venus."
Akur and Aluel,
two Venusian nomads find ways to navigate the challenges of their new camp life
in the Southern deserts of terraformed Venus. With their father mysteriously
absent the two sisters, rely on their canopy beasts—mechanical marvels designed
to harness the sun's energy and provide shade amidst the scorching sun. As days
pass with no word from their father, and with no money to pay for their camp's
upkeep, they struggle to survive amid the dangers of the treacherous human
elements around them. And worse yet; summer is coming. Will the two sisters
find the strength to survive the coming summer, or will they be just two more
victims claimed by the Venusian sands?
