For nearly four hundred years after greed drove civilization to Mars, the survivors left behind on ravaged Mother Earth have struggled to rebuild amongst the ruins.
Atalanta—gifted with the power to control the winds and speak with the planet—leads the crew of the Avalon on missions to restore life to desert wastelands. But when a forest burns and people vanish, Atalanta’s crew risks it all to fight back, only to face a truth that shakes everything.
With tension threatening to tear the crew apart, they must find the strength to rally against an enemy with resources beyond their imagination—or watch as everything they’ve built returns to sand.

This book is queer, activist-friendly, and filled with beautiful poetic writing. I still think about these characters sometimes and I'm excited to see what adventures they get up to next!

We absolutely loved The Wind Sings Sorrow by AJ Eastwood... You’ll fall in love with every member of the polyamorous crew as they embark on a mission that’s as gripping as it is heartfelt. The richly imagined world, layered backstories, and beautifully woven relationships pull you in and leave you longing for more. We can’t wait to see this story brought to life on the big screen and we have no doubt it will be.
