Pendomus

Humanity has colonized on the tidally locked planet Pendomus. Residing between extreme heat and frigid cold is the complex known as the Helix. Within lies a highly sophisticated society functioning solely on humans fulfilling their life's purpose as determined by their natural aptitudes and daily brain scans. Seventeen-year-old Runa Cophem has found her calling studying the ancient trees nearby and anxiously awaits a professional placement which will allow her to continue her work. Runa's life takes an unforeseen turn when she's brutally attacked and left for dead in those woods. Rescued by a stranger with blue hair, she's immersed into a surprising way humanity has survived without the Helix. Fueled by a yearning to understand and an attraction she didn't even know was possible, Runa tries to make a new life for herself. Yet, there's much she doesn't know about herself, about the planet, and the forces controlling her from afar. What she needs are some answers.
