Chrysalis- Schism

Thought for 4s >Chrysalis survived Departure, but survival did not make it whole. As the world beyond the old walls begins to take shape, the fragile unity of Chrysalis fractures. Old loyalties harden. New factions rise. The truth about the Builders, the Firstborn, and the systems buried beneath human memory no longer belongs to a few investigators. It belongs to everyone, and everyone wants to use it. Mara Vale and those who carried the truth forward now face a more dangerous question: what happens when a civilization learns it was built on concealment, control, and inherited wounds? While leaders argue over the future, the people of Chrysalis divide over the past. Some want restoration. Some want revenge. Some want to tear the system apart before it can choose for them again. But beneath the conflict, something older is still watching. Schism, Book Four of The Chrysalis Series, is a science fiction novel about fracture, memory, political inheritance, and the terrible moment when truth stops being hidden and becomes a weapon.
