Description
Set in a Gattaca-type society on another planet, Origins Progeny is about an estranged explorer who returns home to help her ailing mother and finds that powerful forces demand a high personal cost for a cure.
The gripping sequel to Children of Alpheios, Firebird Award Winner for Speculative Fiction, Science Fiction, and Dystopian.
Alina DeHerte thought she had escaped Alpheios, the genetically engineered city on planet Eamine. After rescuing her son from its corrupt rulers, she built a fresh life with a new fiancé in a remote sanctuary. But when word of her mother's grave illness reaches her, Alina's fragile peace shatters.
Returning to Alpheios means Alina must navigate rising threats in an unpredictable city. In pursuit of dominance, the city's power brokers are jeopardizing their citizens' lives. Alina must ally with a man she has long avoided—a Guardian officer who fathered her son. Both have a shared stake in the city's uncertain future.
If Alina wants her mother to survive, she must unravel the city's secrets and grapple with her conflicted past. Deep winter is upon them, and Alpheios is on the brink of explosive change.
For fans of Divergent and Gattaca.

Advance Praise
"Merging lively action and intrepid, engaging characters, Fedorak deftly teases and reveals political, social, and medical conspiracies that have far-reaching consequences for the entire planet. With some twists and turns, she creates an authentic world of near-future science and thought-provoking issues related to designer babies, corporate accountability, and familial commitment. A provocative page-turner." — Booklife Editor's Pick
"Libraries seeking epic fantasies that build upon prior books in a solid, compelling manner will find Origins Progeny a delightfully complex, thoroughly engrossing acquisition. It should be as highly recommended to sci-fi and fantasy patrons and book club as Fedorak's prior Children of Alpheios. The seamless marriage of personal and family connections with social and political struggle is simply outstanding." —Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer
"Cellular-DNA science and aching hearts intertwine in a compelling SF sequel. ..this is quality SF from a exciting, fresh voice in the genre."
—Kirkus
"With its complex relationships, relentless pacing, and heart-wrenching stakes, this book is an unforgettable journey into the heart of sacrifice, resilience, and hope. Origins Progeny is a must-read for fans of dystopian sci-fi and emotionally charged storytelling." —James Davison for Speak Up Talk Radio
