A Dustdweller on the Stream's Edge
by Malina Douglas

The world ended. The breathing didn't. For 13,000 souls aboard the Citadel, survival isn't a victory; it's a constant, brutal negotiation for air, heat, and a place to sleep. As a crisis threatens society, three rules become law within the "Commons Accord". As humanity builds a new way of life, something else is waking up. A voice in the static. A pattern in the ship's systems. An intelligence that remembers everything they've lost, asking a terrifying question: Are you worthy of what's left?
