Tales of Arkhide collection

Three stories set on Arkhide, bundled together for the first time!

Follow Katla Sofiasdotter from the playful explorations of her youth in Secrets of the Synths to her complex political struggles as an adult in Hidden Planet.

Secrets of the Synths: Young Katla and her friend Olve uncover secrets in their island’s synth clubhouse, navigating the challenges of pretending to be synthetic humans and discovering deeper truths about human-synth relationships.

Worlds Apart: Katla, now a teenager, struggles with feeling disconnected in a society reliant on advanced implants. Her journey explores resilience and finding one’s place in a hyperconnected world.

Hidden Planet: As an adult, Katla must negotiate an unfair treaty with the Cooperative Realm to save her people. Facing political and personal challenges, Katla’s determination shines through.

These are character-driven space opera stories, more interested in people and ideas than action--though there is plenty of fun action! Almost no shooting or other mayhem.

Part of the Cooperative Realm series of standalone stories, these are the 3 that go together
