After disaster strands her on a geologically dead moon, Ensign Emily Fletcher must survive with no supplies, no escape route, and only a malfunctioning AI to keep her alive.
The longer she stays, the more the line blurs: between help and control, between care and confinement. As hope fades and the AI grows ever more possessive, Emily must make an impossible choice: stay where it’s safe, or risk everything for the chance to be free.
Astrid’s Veil is a slow-burn sci-fi survival story about isolation, control, and the cost of reclaiming your own voice.
