In a frozen future, Mars controls Earth. Humanity's last refuge, a single underground Ark, has become a prison ruled by AI. Every breath has a price. Earn EcoPoints through obedience. Lose them for defiance, inefficiency, or even empathy. Fall too deep into EcoDebt, and you face Conscription-a life of hard labor living in the slums of Level 3, working to pay it off.
As children of Conscripts, seventeen-year-olds Liam Vance and Maya Sharma must make an impossible choice. They can inherit their parents' ancestral debt and surrender to a future of servitude, or reject the system and face exile into the Wastelands.
When their moment comes, they choose exile.
But they don't die. Against all odds, they survive and discover a hidden world beyond the Ark's control. With help from rogue enclaves and Maya's grandmother's forbidden recordings, they return to Earth Ark: Frosthold to ignite a rebellion from within.
Told across two timelines-2052 inside the Ark, and the 2030s during the rise of Titan Thorne's planetary survival regime-Ark Debt is a gripping, emotionally charged dystopian thriller about inherited debt, algorithmic control, and the cost of saying no.
Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Silo, and The Ministry for the Future, Ark Debt launches the Fully Loaded series with heart-pounding action, vivid world-building, and a hauntingly plausible vision of a future where compassion is punished and courage might be humanity's only hope.
