Space was supposed to be humanity’s salvation. But now, it may become our doom. When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity. Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back. As Earth reels from climate collapse and food shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic patents, and access to survival itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future. But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents. Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs. Meanwhile, Professor Olga Polyakov, the scientist who made Diana possible, is under orders to recover the child before rival factions strike. But as conflict brews between ideologies, worlds, and species, one truth becomes clear: the war for tomorrow has already begun. And only one thing might shape the outcome—a mother’s love. The vault is the code. The eclipse is the signal. The child is the key. In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become. From a dying Earth to the vastness of space, the fight to protect humanity’s future has begun and one question drives them all: how to protect what remains of human freedom..
