The Forests That Grew Between Stars: A Zykroth Biodome Novel

Within the fractured asteroid of Zykroth, a biodome blooms with luminescent flora, a testament to humanity's tenacious grip on life amidst the stars. Young Bioplanter Lehana Mejia, deeply connected to the whispering forests she tends, unearths a network of pulsating mycelia, its ethereal glow hinting at ancient secrets. This is no ordinary fungus; it hums with a forgotten power, a bio-linguistic code echoing in the dreams of her people.

But Zykroth’s fragile harmony is shattered by the arrival of the Kryll Mining Consortium. Driven by greed and a personal vendetta, Chad Brock sees only a resource ripe for exploitation. His drills tear into the asteroid's crust, threatening the delicate balance Lehana and her people have painstakingly maintained. The Kryll’s arrival also awakens something within Lehana – a buried past, a forgotten connection to the mycelia's radiant pulse.

Guided by the eccentric elder Theresa Thompson, Lehana deciphers the mycelia's intricate language, each glowing hypha a pathway to forgotten knowledge, each pulse a step towards understanding its potential – and its inherent dangers. Meanwhile, Brock's obsession with the rare mineral Orichalcum intensifies, pushing Zykroth to the brink of ecological collapse.

As the asteroid crumbles around them, Lehana’s journey into the mycelia's secrets becomes a descent into her own past. She discovers the Bioplanters are not merely cultivating life; they are woven into Zykroth’s very fabric, and the mycelia holds the key to unlocking a forgotten symbiotic partnership.

With the asteroid’s fate hanging in the balance, Lehana faces a choice: embrace the mycelia’s untamed power or watch her world be consumed by Brock's insatiable void. Her decision becomes a desperate gamble, a high-stakes plunge into the unknown, with consequences reaching far beyond the fractured remnants of their home. Dare to enter the luminescent world of Zykroth and discover the forests that grew between the stars.
