GARDENERS OF AETHELGARD
"In a single moment, 88% of humanity is connected to a biological network they never asked for."
For millennia, the Isos have watched Earth from the shadows — an advanced alien species whose bioluminescent bodies pulse with living technology. They consider themselves gardeners. Humanity? An unruly crop in desperate need of tending.
When the Ares III Mars landing ends in catastrophic failure, Kael activates the final update ahead of schedule. In a single moment, 88% of humanity is connected to a biological network — a "Shadow Network" that strips away something fundamental: the choice to remain unchanged.
A multi-generational program to steer human biology toward something 'better' — without consent.
The 12% who refused the gift call themselves Naturals. They call it war.
Kael must navigate a fractured world that sees him as either savior or destroyer of free will.
