Synopsis
About Dissonant Constellations
It has been over thirty years since the Embers of Prometheus left Earth, rejecting the new power wielded by the Coalition over the fate of Humanity for the risks and rewards of complete independence. The Coalition's power has only grown in that time, and the Embers remain ever-vigilant against their cruel propaganda.
Kel, an elite warrior of the Embers, finds herself thrust into the center of a political and personal nightmare. Her status as a Phoenix has, it seems, been discovered by the Coalition, making her a target for capture and experimentation. The alternative explanation, the complete invasion of the Embers' colony, is also not out of the realm of possibility. With no safe way to contact home, lest she risk recapture or the exposure of her colony's position, Kel must seek out allies and aid...willing or not...to save her people from the Coalition threat.
Lukas, a trauma surgeon on a Coalition First Responders Corps vessel, doesn't pay much attention to politics...unless a senator decides to crash his skipper into an asteroid. Then, and only then, is it his problem. Recovering from emotional traumas of his own, as well as a quarantine-induced separation from his beloved wife, Lukas tries to keep things positive, and help anyone who might need it...no matter how suspicious the distress call.
