Synopsis

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Book Riot

Dune meets Wool in this high-octane quest through the void, where two eternal forces are about to collide in an epic showdown.

A HALF-FORMED UNIVERSE.
A POWERFUL ANOMALY.
A POEM THAT IS PROPHECY.

When the Sinker was a child, all she knew was violence. To survive, she fled into the Void—a seemingly infinite nothingness where people live on “rocks,” individual lands spread out in all directions, floating in the vast empty space. Some rocks are giant magnets, others burn with eternal flame, and some are influenced by seemingly magical anomalies with such great powers that evil forces would stop at nothing to possess them. And while most are afraid of traveling through the Void, the Sinker is not. With a sword on her back, she speeds through the darkness, running from a past that is quickly gaining on her.

Emery only knows the comfort of Fairviel, but when her son falls ill and the Sinker arrives on her doorstep, she ventures into the Void in search of a cure. When she returns, Fairviel is destroyed. With no home, Emery begins to sink, chasing a recurring dream that feels bigger than a dream, that feels like the key to everything.

But they are not alone in the Void. Mercenaries rise and fall around them, princes and kings guard their kingdoms, and a great machine fuels its ascent by consuming all in its path. With the Void destabilizing, Emery and the Sinker find themselves at a turning point in history, a moment when everything could collapse or realign, and the only thing that may save them exists at the bottom of it all. Or so legend says…

Goodreads review by Gabby on August 15, 2025

This definitely was giving Wool with the anxiety driven claustrophobia of the silos but instead it’s endless void. The setting was very unique with civilization found on vertical floating rocks and The Construct destroying said rocks for fuel (corporate America, is that you (again)?) some parts of t......more

Goodreads review by Chandra on December 02, 2025

This one was so bizarre for me. I greatly enjoyed the setting, the floating rocks populated in an endless void, I found it very intriguing. Unfortunately, the landscape of the book was the only thing that held my interest; the characters were very shallow and the plot felt slow to progress. There was......more

Goodreads review by C.J. on March 13, 2026

A huge thanks to Saga Press for the physical arc. The hardcover with its naked artwork and sprayed edges is a real treat. I requested this one off the blurb and the fact that it said the author was a writer for Netflix’s The OA series. Not only was I a fan, and it was canceled before its time, but i......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey on September 14, 2025

It took me a while to finish this, because I just could not bring myself to care about anything. The one that I’d typically find at least interesting wasn’t even that for me (Sinker). The concept of a mechanism devouring rocks that people call home without remorse sounds incredible, but it fell into......more

Goodreads review by Aries Reads Too Much on March 11, 2026

TLDR: Humans live on vastly scattered mini planets, all endlessly free-falling through an endless void. Myths & legends drive societies, some barbaric, some simple-minded, all isolated. A mechanical planet is destroying everything in its path, while unlikely underdogs race into an endless unknown. Th......more
