CHRYSALIS
An AMARANTHE Short Story
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.
For long-time readers of the AMARANTHE books, Chrysalis tells the story of how the SAI Rebellion began, with Nika at its center.

Chrysalis was originally published in Beyond the Stars: Infinite Expanse, edited by Patrice Fitzgerald and Richard Leslie.
