Synopsis

Exiled to a prison planet for challenging Earth's fascist regime, biologist Arton Daghdev discovers that all life on Kiln exists in radical symbiosis — organisms merging and hybridizing in ways that contradict everything the totalitarian Mandate teaches. When the alien ecosystem begins to transform the prisoners themselves, Daghdev must decide whether to fight the change or embrace it.
