Comfort belongs to the worthy. But some are born disqualified.

Mars, 2083
Ada Bello came here under a stolen identity, chasing the truth about a missing colonist and a woman who's been locked in isolation for ten months.

Assigned to the rabbit companion program, she begins searching for answers, but the colony AI watches everything, trust in the system is absolute, and even Ada's rabbitat partner urges her to keep her head down – or risk being erased.

But Ada can't stop digging. Not when she's afraid Glory Li's imprisonment might be her fault.

Mars, 2171
Twelve-year-old colony elite Quinta Voss receives a rabbit for her birthday, a comfort reserved for the privileged Numbers class.

In the Non-Participating Colonist sector, Kellan Reilly's mother lies dying of a treatable condition.

When the two cross paths, Quinta begins to question everything she's been taught about fairness, value, and what it truly means to be worthy. Because in a colony built on secrets and governed by control, comfort isn't a gift. It's a test – one that was rigged from the moment the first settlers stepped off the shuttle.

Chosen is a prequel to Glassborn, the opening novel in The Glassborn Chronicles – a speculative fiction saga about surveillance, legacy, and the systems we're told to trust. The rebellion begins with a lie buried in the colony's foundation, and generations determined to dig it up.
