The Marrow of the Sky
Ember Graves
In the dying slums beneath the Spire, survival is the only religion. Elara knows this the way she knows the taste of ash - bone-deep, without question. When she is conscripted into the Rider program and bonded to Obsidian, a Wyrm of terrifying intelligence and darker appetite, she expects to become a weapon. What she doesn't expect is the truth buried beneath the fortress itself.
The Spire is not a stronghold. It is a body. And Elara and her fellow Riders are not soldiers - they are leukocytes, engineered constructs deployed inside a living planetary organism to fight an infection older than civilization. The horde clawing at the walls is not an enemy army. It is a disease. And the Architect pulling every string from the shadows has been managing this war - and manufacturing its soldiers - for longer than anyone alive can remember.
Bonded to a Wyrm that whispers promises she isn't sure she wants to keep, drawn into a brutal and fragile connection with Kaelen - the Spire's most feared Rider and its most damaged one - Elara begins to understand that the real horror isn't the horde. It's the realization that she was never meant to survive this. None of them were.
*The Marrow of the Sky* is a standalone dark fantasy epic that bleeds into cosmic horror and psychological dread - a story about what it costs to be someone else's weapon, what it means to burn from the inside out, and whether the thing that was built to destroy you can ever truly be called your own.
For readers who want their fantasy to leave marks.
Contains graphic violence, psychological horror, and mature themes.
