A remote outpost. An alien life form. A mystery.

Stella had her heart set on spending her work term as part of the second mission to the core of New Venus. Instead, she's assigned to a remote science outpost on a forgotten moon.

To make things worse, she's stuck with Dizzy—her chaotic, endlessly curious classmate who talks too much, breaks too many rules, and seems determined to actually enjoy their exile.

But as the days pass, Stella starts to see a different side of Dizzy as their work at the outpost reveals strange, breathtaking secrets. A colossal fungal organism that might be sentient and is definitely growing. Mysterious, gravity defying particles. Fragments of research long buried. Then Dizzy stumbles across the biggest secret yet—a previous student died at the outpost under suspicious circumstances—circumstances that are happening again.

Now, Stella and Dizzy must rely on each other to uncover the truth of what happened at the outpost—before whatever's growing out there comes for them next.
