THE ABSENCE

Identity is a luxury the Void cannot afford. ​In the Frayed, reality doesn't just break—it forgets. Cain Mordren has spent six years as a courier, surviving on cheap liquor and the memory of a daughter he couldn't save. But his last shipment isn't geological samples. It’s a woman who stepped out of nothingness to reclaim a black coin that shouldn't exist. ​When the world folds and the shadows rise to kill their masters, Cain makes a terminal choice. He doesn't run. He reaches into his own darkness and tears it out. ​Now, Cain has no reflection. He has no shadow. He is a hole in the universe where the laws of physics go to die. ​To survive the scavengers of the Remnants and the fury of a woman who burned continents to find him, Cain must learn the true cost of power. Because in a world being eaten by the Void, the only thing more dangerous than being hunted is becoming the Absence itself.
