Guest

Once means all's well. Twice means something's coming. Three means run.
Eik has always known that his family is different. His mother adjusts him at the kitchen table with a tiny
screwdriver. His father tells the same joke every Friday. Both of them taught him a secret signal and a
promise: Remember who you are.

Then the knock comes, the steel door gives way, and Eik is left with a small hexagonal box and nowhere to
go but Lossen.

Lossen is a city of scrap built by the survivors of a collapsed world: rusting containers, drone-patrolled ridges
and creatures nobody planned for. Here the old machines are still half awake. Nivi can feel them. Maya hides
what she knows. Theo guards a camp that has learned never to trust strangers. And RazorClaw, a war
machine that should have been dismantled, wants Eik's answers just as badly as Eik does.

As the box wakes, so does everything around it. And Eik discovers that the most dangerous thing in Lossen
may be the truth about himself.

Guest is a standalone-feeling first volume with a cliffhanger worth the wait. Perfect for readers of dystopian
and post-apocalyptic adventure, and for anyone who loves a story about found family, machines with hearts
and the courage to stay human.
