Synopsis

[B&W Illustrated Edition – includes artwork from Loa’s world!]

"Loa had a secret—and like most things that were hers, she couldn’t wait to share it."

Life on the mining planet Sekris is harsh. In the crater city of Lantus, Loa lives with her father among thousands of colonists working under the iron rule of the Gevroh Corporation. Even children must labor for barter tokens, but when the company store raises prices, Loa’s wages can no longer feed her family.

With her sister trapped in underground detention and unrest spreading through the mines, Loa vows that this year’s Petition Day will be different. Together with her friends, she ventures beyond the crater wall to explore a wrecked cargo ship, uncovering forbidden secrets buried beneath the dust—and a tunnel that hums with something alive.

Loa’s Secret is a haunting and hopeful tale of rebellion, discovery, and courage in the face of impossible odds. Set in the vast Coredawn Chronicles universe, this B&W Illustrated Edition includes selected art plates, an annotated map of Lantus Crater, and a glossary of lore, terms, and technology.

For readers of Orson Scott Card, Martha Wells, and Emily St. John Mandel—a luminous coming-of-age story at the edge of the stars.
