breath of power
On a broken Mars where oxygen is rarer than gold, survival is a daily tribute to the gangs who hoard it. The slums breathe thin, dirty air, while the so-called kings sit atop towers of purity, untouchable and worshiped like gods.
Max is nobody — a weak scrapper just trying to keep himself and his sister alive. Every breath is borrowed, every day a gamble. But when a brutal encounter leaves him clinging to life, Max stumbles upon something strange… a device unlike anything he’s ever seen, humming with a power he can’t yet understand.
With his sister’s life hanging by a thread and the gangs tightening their grip, Max faces a choice: remain a pawn in a world built on suffocation, or risk everything for a future that might finally let him breathe free.
