Written to be un-putdownable. A fast paced, easy to read tale that is full of surprises, twists and engaging plot threads that keep the reader wanting more.
In Eldra, a world sustained by capturing colossal cosmic creatures, humanity has long prospered from the bounty these majestic beasts provide. Towering structures spear their lines deep into the stars, reeling in vast creatures to harvest precious resources, bringing wealth and harmony to society.
In a small, tranquil town beneath one such tower, an aging Skycatcher and his apprentice launch a line into the stars, going further into the cosmos than ever and hooking something far greater, and far darker, than ever imagined. Driven mad by visions of grandeur, and the whispers of something between realities, they begin to reel in the catch with it expected to make landfall in 5 days.
As they work relentlessly to bring in their prize, the closer they come the more it poisons, unleashing violence and chaos upon the world.
Haunted by memories of the night his wife was killed 20 years ago, crushed beneath a Sky Whale landed by a careless Skycatcher, Hiraeth knows too well the horrors these creatures can inflict. Determined to protect his blind, sickly daughter, Liora, and his loyal dog, Muckley, Hiraeth stumbles onto a desperate quest to prevent devastation.
As the countdown to catastrophe begins, tensions escalate, loyalties fracture, and sanity erodes. With an unstoppable entity hurtling toward their world, and a horrific villain drawn in to ensure its landing, Hiraeth and his unlikely allies must race against time to halt the madness.
Blending fantasy, cosmic horror, and gritty modern realism, this is a tale of loss, redemption, and the perilous consequences of humanity’s greed—where heroes must rise from the most unlikely places, and where survival demands confronting not only the darkness in the sky, but the darkness within.
