Red Earth Rising

Five years after humanity's first colony on Mars, the machines that shaped the red world awaken something older than dust and steel. Beneath the iron-veined plains, an alien hive remembers-and it does not forgive. When colonists vanish into living castles of alloy, Alina Veyda is left with one impossible choice: burn the hive, or risk listening to its song. But fire only feeds it, and silence is never enough.
As survivors dwindle and whispers rise from the soil itself, Alina must carry her defiance across a planet remade in iron and ash. From the firestorms of the basins to the silence of salt dunes, this is the story of vows carved in blood, of children reborn as weapons, and of one mother's desperate march toward a fragile dawn. Mars remembers everything. The question is-will humanity be remembered, or consumed? Red Earth Rising is a sweeping sci-fi horror epic of survival and defiance set against the hostile beauty of Mars.
