Codex of the Cosmari: Volume 1: From the Depths of the Stars

On the distant world of Shoar, the galactic corporation, X-TRACT Unlimited, has discovered a powerful resource; compressed hemoplasma, that has revolutionized everything from space flight to medicine. Yet, it seems anything but for the native population of Shoar, as X-TRACT has conquered the world for over a century and has driven the world into a state of environmental ruin with a rapidly collapsing population. Jordan Blue, a mechanic struggling to survive from day to day, barely survives a potentially fatal accident, rescued by the enigmatic Cosmari space mermaid, Kuvett. Secretive and clandestine, the Cosmari desire to reclaim their homeworld, one way or another. While Jordan attempts to process their chance meeting, Kuvett seeks the mysteries of the closed off Meritopolis, a massive and towering symbol of X-TRACT’s control over the planet, unaware of the tensions brewing underneath the surface between the Citizens of Meritopolis and the populace of the decrepit Outskirts, where the remaining population of Shoar live.
