The Karyon Chronicles Part Three: Beyond the First Gate is an epic cosmic science-fiction adventure exploring life, death, consciousness, evolution, ancient civilisations and the terrifying question at the heart of existence: The universe is older than its histories.And some of its oldest secrets were never meant to be found.
Seven years after the destruction of Saturn, Earth is finally emerging from darkness. Above it hangs the impossible new world of Karyon, rebuilt from sacrifice, memory and the remains of a shattered planet. But the people who made that miracle possible are gone.
Varek vanished carrying the six Relics of Creation. Saox disappeared beyond the First Gate. Sarah remains imprisoned somewhere within the Harbinger empire. And Mira Chen, the living Seventh Relic, has spent seven years searching the boundaries between life, death and everything beyond them.
Then the silence breaks.
Beyond the First Gate, Saox witnesses the history of creation itself and discovers that the Relics were never merely weapons. They are interfaces with forces woven into existence: continuity, transformation, hidden truth, relationship, possibility and persistence.
On Karyon, something thought lost begins answering.
And in Grey Space, Mira discovers that death may not be an ending at all.
What begins as a search for the missing becomes something far greater: a journey through resurrected worlds, ancient consciousness, impossible biology and secrets older than the Architects themselves.
But restoring what has been lost carries a price.
When the dead begin to return and life learns to change faster than nature can contain it, creation itself is pushed beyond its limits.
The Voidlords are watching.
The universe is responding.
And for the first time since creation began...
space itself is starting to stop.
What happens when creation becomes too successful to survive itself?
