Humanity is caught in the slow collapse of coastlines, governments, and trust. In the middle of this unraveling world stands Malcolm Carter, a quiet mathematician who turns to equations the way others turn to prayer. While nations argue and seas rise, he begins work that might rewrite the future one variable at a time. At his side, sometimes watching, sometimes guiding, is his daughter Elena. She grows up in a world of ash-darkened skies and half-finished theories, learning too young that brilliance can be both a gift and a burden. As Malcolm chases possibilities no one else can see, Elena feels the equally heavy pull of the human world, the world that still needs feeding, healing, rebuilding. Over the decades, as disasters reshape continents and societies strain under the weight of change, the Carter family becomes one of the quiet threads holding the era together. Malcolm’s work pushes the boundaries of what humanity might reach for; Elena’s work helps ensure there will still be people here to reach. Amid climate upheaval, fragile alliances, and the first sparks of global unity, a new generation rises in the shadow of old failures and new hopes. From this crucible, the foundations are laid, for technologies not yet understood, for governments not yet tested, and for the child who will one day carry the Carter legacy into the stars. Ashes to Aurora is the story of how a future begins: not with a single breakthrough, but with years of grit, loss, stubborn belief, and the quiet courage of those who choose to build again even as the world burns around them.Voir livre
