Jessamyn has survived a terrifying crash but lost her ship, joining Pavel, Ethan, and others in the dissenter settlement of Yucca. Now, Chancellor Lucca Brezhnaya believes Jess is out to destroy the Terran government, and Lucca will stop at nothing to find Jess. The trail of tellurium left in the Mars Raiders’ wake makes them vulnerable to discovery, and when Lucca places a spy in their midst, secrets are spilled that could mean the loss of everything—and everyone—Jess holds dear.
THE SHELTER WE FIND is the third book in a coming-of-age science fiction adventure series set in a dystopian future where colonization on Mars has survived for centuries without any contact with Earth, until now.
Cidney Swanson writes unforgettable characters who are genuinely shocked to find themselves thrown into perilous Sci-Fi/Fantasy situations. Well, except for the heroine from Mars. Come on. How shocked could a Mars colonist be to find herself in Sci-Fi peril? After they get over their shock, her characters start kicking butt and taking names, and usually do some kissing along the way. Cidney’s complex plotting and character arcs have garnered a few nice awards, including Kirkus Reviews Best in Teen/YA 2012, an SCBWI Spark Honor Book award, a Kay Snow award, and the 2020 Good Story Grant. When she’s not placing her characters in peril, Cidney can be found obsessing over her neurodiverse-driven special interests (Disney history, Mars, and Shakespeare). Cidney writes full time, dividing her year between Oregon and Florida with her family and entirely too much rain.
