Two Were Sent To Save Humanity. Mars Had Other Plans.
NovaSeed: Eden Rising · Warren Pulley
"I have been watching since the beginning. I have been keeping the record.
I have one thing to say before you begin:
The planet is not empty. It never was.
Begin."
In 2054, coastlines are swallowed. Cities are displaced. Governments are gridlocked. Humanity agrees on one thing: the species needs a second home.
After a decade of global selection, two people are chosen from millions of candidates. Carter. Alina. The first two human beings to set foot on Mars — and never come back.
"Two were selected from eight billion. One mission. One planet. No way back."
What they find beneath the surface of the Hellas Planitia basin changes everything humanity thought it knew about life, civilization, and what it means to build on ground that was already occupied.
They have known each other since they were teenagers. They have loved each other longer than either has admitted. And there is no way back.
In a liquid brine pocket beneath the Hellas Planitia basin — one of the oldest geological features in the solar system — something has been alive since before Earth had oceans. It produces molecules that match no compound in any database ever assembled by human science.
Carter and Alina did not come to Mars to find life. They came to bring it. Now they must decide what it means to be guests of a planet that was already occupied.
This is not one book. This is the opening of a century-spanning saga — two people making decisions that will echo across generations. You are at the beginning of something.
Exclusive lore drops, mission updates, early access to Book 2, and dispatches from the NovaSeed universe — delivered directly to you. This is how the story continues between books.
