A Universe Upon Us

Two factions. Two lovers. One choice.

When Ceri boarded the colony ship with her parents, they were escaping the destruction on Earth. They’d sleep in stasis for a thousand years, then wake on their new home, free from the ravages of war.

But for Ceri, it was not to be.

The adults of the Stratford stole her childhood and replaced it with terror. For seven years, they forced her and her squad to fight against a rival faction. They were called the enemy, but just like her, they were children, trying to survive.

One day, Efa, her squad mate and friend, confesses a forbidden love that can only be considered treason. Ceri is furious, but also confused. They were like sisters. Why had Efa kept this from her?

The reason forces Ceri into a choice. Should she do what Efa asks, or risk losing the only person on the ship she could trust?
