A novel by Daria Sizova

AERIS

A dark psychological sci-fi novel about memory, survival, and the cost of being protected.

Inside the perfect System, every breath is counted. Grief is inefficient. Memory is dangerous. And love becomes the last thing no algorithm can fully erase.

The Book

Every citizen begins the same way.

AERIS is the safest place left on Earth. But safety comes at a price. Every breath. Every word. Every piece of who you were.

Before you enter, you leave something behind.

Life inside AERIS

Every citizen belongs to a level.

In AERIS, safety is not a right. It is a calculation. The last living acacia grows at the centre of the Dome, while below it every room, every meal and every breath is assigned by level. Some earn it. Some lose it.

Daria Sizova

I write psychological fiction shaped by history, memory, war and impossible choices.

AERIS began with one question: what would people willingly sacrifice for safety?

The answer became a sealed world where survival is measured, grief is inefficient, and love remains the one thing no system can fully optimise.

A novel about memory, control and the price of being protected.
