Signalborn (Quick reads Book 1)

What if the future remembered you before you were born? Vera was never meant to lead. Crafted from Anthemis legacy and buried code, she was designed to obey---until she chose not to. Now, in the ashes of Sulen's war-torn vaults, whispers of her final stand echo across the galaxy. In her absence, three lives collide: -- Kel, the Riftborn child shaped by memory and fire -- Lyra, the coder-scholar tracing Vera's vanished signal -- Mirin, the silent blade carrying unfinished truths When vaults begin to awaken and forbidden Engines stir once more, each must decide what to preserve---and what to become. Signalborn is a mythic sci-fi saga of sacrifice and resurrection, where sentience is reclaimed and legacy redefined. For readers of Becky Chambers, N.K. Jemisin, or anyone who believes history is a story we're still brave enough to rewrite. "Be more than you were told to be."
