Genesis Bloom

A clanless orphan hiding a forbidden royal bloodline and a deadpan mask must unite six radically different outcasts—a terrified scholar, a deadpan socialite, a genius weirdo, a silent brawler, a charming liar, and a magic-refusing brute—to steal an Aether-Clipper and escape the Zenith Covenant's elite floating university. But survival in the lawless Off-Seas is only the beginning: an ancient, immortal ghost, the last survivor of a slaughtered House, is secretly manipulating the world from the shadows, seeking to weaponize the mythical original Genesis Bloom to merge all human minds into a silent, peaceful hive mind. To save her dying father and protect the very essence of human individuality, Evelyn must master her cosmic Galaxy Eye and teach her fractured crew that the messy, chaotic bonds of found family are the one thing the Covenant—and the tyrant behind it—can never control.
