About this book

The crashed ship is more than shelter now. In Roots, it turns into a med-bay, a workshop, and a real test of whether this outpost can actually hold.

This is the settling-in book. Pressure builds from deep winter, failing ship systems, and old Thalani lights pulsing beyond the pass — proof the valley had a history long before Callum Wren arrived.
