AN ENDLESS VOID. A POWERFUL ANOMALY. A QUEST FOR REVENGE.
When The Sinker was a child, her home was destroyed by The Construct, a floating machine that consumes all in its path. To survive, she fled into the void, a seemingly infinite nothingness where few dare venture, filled with floating, vertically stacked rocks. Some of these rocks are giant magnets, some burn with eternal flame and some are influenced by the presence of seemingly magical objects – anomalies that defy physical laws.
For half a lifetime, The Sinker has wandered the void on a quest for knowledge, for understanding and for peace. But when rumours reach her that The Construct is near again, she knows fate has come full circle. With the help of Crooked Arm – the heir to a shattered throne, who happens to possess the most powerful anomaly of all – the two of them set out on a mission to end the tyranny of The Construct forever.
From one of the visionary writers of the Netflix series The OA comes a reality unlike anything you have ever encountered before.
If you're ready, enter the void...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this dreamlike science fiction novel, Ober (Doctor Benjamin Franklin's Dream America) explores a world where all of civilization exists on isolated rocks in what seems to be an endless void. The story opens on a small rock called Fairveil, where Emery receives an unusual visitor: the Sinker, a woman who's been traveling for a long time through the void. Emery's son, Del, has a deadly infection, and the Sinker persuades Emery to come with her to a nearby rock to find medicine, teaching her how to sink and rise through the void by positioning her body against its friction. When they arrive, the two hear intriguing stories of a rock that consumes other rocks—a tale that the Sinker seems to recognize. The Sinker leaves Emery to pursue this lead, but before they part, gives her a map and empowers her with the knowledge to make her own way in the void. On their separate travels, the Sinker confronts her past while Emery follows her strangely vivid dreams to uncover fascinating secrets. In the void, no two rocks are alike, and Ober packs his heroine's immersive adventures with gorgeous, visceral descriptions and a sense of wonder. Combining impressive worldbuilding and thrilling action, including some fun twists and unexpected reveals, this is sure to please.
