Kaia Darrow
To the wealthy collectors in London, archaeology is romance and velvet ropes. To Kaia Darrow, it’s heat rash, crumbling masonry, and the constant fear of a twisted ankle miles from civilization. At 22, Kaia should be finishing her degree. Instead, she’s deep in the Veridian Sector, chasing a ghost. Her father, Elias Darrow, died a laughingstock. The academic elite called his theory of the "Golden Citadel" a delusion. They broke him. Now, Kaia intends to break them. Standing 5'3" and weighing 115 lbs, she doesn't look like a threat, but she possesses a climber’s grip and a daughter’s grief. She funds her expedition by scavenging scraps for the black market—a "recovery specialist," they call it. She adjusts her red-tinted contacts against the glare. The ruins ahead match her father’s sketches. She isn't here for gold or magic. She’s here to prove that the smartest man she ever knew wasn't crazy. She’s here for the truth.
