What if the sky didn’t reflect the world—
…but remembered it?
Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, Dr. Talia Vega listens to something no one else can hear: a harmonic pulse forming in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Frozen layers of ozone and nitrogen have begun to organize into a crystalline lattice—alive with memory, geometry, and something that sounds like thought.
When a pulse she designed years ago begins echoing in the sky—one she buried for good reason—Vega realizes she didn’t just witness the birth of the firmament…
She may have caused it.
As experiments push deeper into atmospheric memory and the lattice begins to speak in light, Vega finds herself connected to others—strangers who’ve touched the sky and left fingerprints inside it. And the firmament, once passive, begins to respond in ways that defy time, space… and even intent.
