Inhuman

Firstborn wants to live in harmony with the Shrikes and trade fruits for their steel. But his A.I. mother starts a war with the hive that will forever scar the land. Blue falls in love with the beautiful forest and will never stop trying to communicate with the natives. As the war escalates, Thorn swears vengeance against the monsters who tore him in half. And Vera emerges from the Red Place to paint the world with her favorite color. The suffering and atrocities must end, but is victory worth losing what it means to be human?
