Description: One day it started snowing… and it never stopped.

The world froze beneath endless steel skies, and humanity learned to survive by stacking itself in layers. The privileged claimed the surface, where warmth still lingered. Below them, in the deep and forgotten layers, people learned to ration warmth, hope, and time.

Sol lives in Layer 5–where cold is a sentence, not a season.

As leader of the Sun Catchers, Sol carries the weight of impossible choices. Every decision saves someone, but always at a cost. Every victory leaves scars. There are no good options anymore–only lesser evils. Yet despite the rot creeping through the lower layers, Sol clings to a fragile dream: that one day, the snow will melt. That children will dance on grass he has only ever known through forbidden texts. That Layer 5 might live instead of merely endure.

Hope, he knows, is dangerous. But without it, they are already dead.

When the Sun Catchers uncover a new source of power–one capable of defying the cold itself–it threatens to shatter everything Sol believes in. The energy is unstable, corrupting, and born from the very darkness humanity has spent generations fleeing. To use it may save Layer 5. To lose control of it may doom them all.

Worse still, the power awakens something in Clare–Sol’s greatest anchor and deepest vulnerability. Her abilities are terrifying, misunderstood, and tied to the shadows below, where things still move in the dark. The Sun Catchers fear her. Their enemies hunt her. And Sol must decide whether love is a strength… or the final weakness that will break him.

As the layers tremble and old systems begin to fracture, Sol is forced to confront a truth no leader wants to face: salvation and destruction may come from the same source.

In a world where warmth is currency, morality is negotiable, and miracles are paid for in blood, the Sun Catchers must choose what they are willing to become.

Because when humanity turns its back on the sun, there may be no way back.

Hope burns. Survival is simple.

For there is nothing sacred beneath steel skies.
