The Quelling: Befriend your enemy, save your friend.

On the distant planet Aurora Saura, where your body is not your own, the good people cower in basements to avoid the scavengers plaguing the skies. Not far away, on a plateau crisp with ice, an alien overlord struggles relentlessly to keep his species whole. And in the sandstone streets of Merrocha, a young girl peddles her father's tinctures and potions, unaware of the imminent cosmic intervention that's about to unfold.
