In this sweeping coming-of-age saga, disaster threatens the Mars colony’s survival, and a seventeen-year-old pilot might be Mars’s last hope.

Things get worse as Jess starts falling for the Chancellor’s rebellious nephew. Now she discovers that she holds the fate of her home world and of her brother in her hands, and soon she will have to choose between them.

Cidney Swanson writes unforgettable characters who are genuinely shocked to find themselves thrown into perilous Sci-Fi/Fantasy situations. Well, except for the heroine from Mars. Come on. How shocked could a Mars colonist be to find herself in Sci-Fi peril? After they get over their shock, her characters start kicking butt and taking names, and usually do some kissing along the way. Cidney’s complex plotting and character arcs have garnered a few nice awards, including Kirkus Reviews Best in Teen/YA 2012, an SCBWI Spark Honor Book award, a Kay Snow award, and the 2020 Good Story Grant. When she’s not placing her characters in peril, Cidney can be found obsessing over her neurodiverse-driven special interests (Disney history, Mars, and Shakespeare). Cidney writes full time, dividing her year between Oregon and Florida with her family and entirely too much rain.
