What if the smallest thing you could imagine was powerful enough to break the world?
Daniel Kerr was eight years old when gravity hesitated.
For half a second, a pebble forgot how to fall-and nothing in Daniel's life was ever quite ordinary again.
As he grows up in a quiet Midwestern town, Daniel discovers he can create tiny points of absolute darkness: microscopic distortions in spacetime that pull matter toward them and erase whatever they touch. They're small. Brief. Invisible to everyone else.
At first.
As Daniel's control increases, so does the attention he never wanted. Government sensors begin detecting impossible gravitational events. Scientists realize the laws of physics are being violated. And somewhere in the middle of it all is an unremarkable teenage boy who can open holes in the universe with his mind.
Taken from his life and placed inside a windowless facility, Daniel becomes the subject of a program that doesn't yet know whether he is a breakthrough, a weapon, or a threat to existence itself.
The Smallest Thing is a grounded, character-driven science fiction novel about power without spectacle, discovery without consent, and the terrifying question of what happens when something impossible turns out to be human.
