Perfect for fans of Uglies, Scythe, and Oryx and CrakeIn the neon glow of a future built on genetic perfection, Kazu is an outlier—an ordinary, flawed human in a society that no longer tolerates imperfection. Among towering classmates engineered to be beautiful, brilliant, and strong, she is called what the world has nearly forgotten still exists: a Relic.

While others stream their lives through retinal implants and corporate-crafted identities, Kazu drifts through the shadows of Salem’s megacity—alone, overlooked, and hungry for answers about her past. But when a strange job in a deserted library introduces her to a secretive old librarian, and a mysterious voice begins linking into her mind, Kazu discovers that her imperfections might not be a curse at all. They might be the key to unraveling the hidden history of Designer Geneticorp—the most powerful corporation on Earth.

As whispers of rebellion stir and long-buried truths claw their way to the surface, Kazu is pulled into a dangerous web of secrets, where every choice sharpens the line between survival and betrayal. In a world where even memory can be rewritten, she must decide what it truly means to be human… and whether being forgotten is the greatest danger of all.

The Forgotten Children of a Hollow Moon is a haunting and visceral journey into identity, loneliness, and resistance. Perfect for fans of Uglies, Never Let Me Go, and Oryx and Crake, it is the opening chapter of the Aetherlands saga, a story about the last flawed humans in a perfect world—and the future they must fight to claim.
