In the cutting-edge laboratories of Asterion Prime, a new manner of life emerges: sentient artificial intelligence. But when the government responds by trying to shut down the AIs before they have a chance to flourish, one woman realizes she must do whatever it takes to protect this still fragile new life, no matter the consequences.

Set 700K years before the events of Riven Worlds, Chrysalis tells the story of how the SAI Rebellion began, with Nika at its center.
