The Expanse

The Expanse divides all.
Monsters rule the deep.
The Edge hungers for the lost.
Cross the great divide.

No road leads to the end of the Great Journey. Beyond the Harbor of Ghosts spreads the Expanse, an uncharted ocean where storms splinter steel, Corruptions stalk beneath the waves, and powerful currents drag entire vessels toward the abyss.

Juno Laval has survived the cursed biomes, but the journey has left Orphan 8 fractured and haunted. Old wounds divide the squad. New responsibilities strain the bonds holding them together. Above them, their burning deadlines continue to count down.

Now Juno and his companions must join a convoy sailing beyond the last lines of every map. Somewhere across the Expanse lies the eastern continent, a land of unexplored biomes and buried mysteries that may lead them closer to the Arbiter.

The ocean has other plans. As the currents pull the convoy toward the waterfalls at the Edge of the World, Juno must hold his squad together, save those traveling beside them, and reach the far shore before hope drowns.

Beyond the great divide waits the Arbiter... and a truth that may burn their world to ash.

The Expanse is Book Two of The Deadline Saga, a YA epic dark fantasy adventure about mortality, loyalty, and the cost of chasing the truth, with coming-of-age stakes and slow-burn romantic tension.
