Light

Elias Vance knows the world is going to end. In less than three years, a wound in reality will open above Earth and turn the sky into a doorway for something vast, ancient, and hungry. Governments do not know it is coming. Scientists do not understand the signs. And the people Elias loves most have no idea how close they are to the edge. So Elias does what he knows how to do best: he builds. Using stolen time, improvised engineering, and a growing arsenal of impossible light-based technology, he begins laying the groundwork for a war no one else believes is real. Every step pulls him further from the life he is trying to protect. His wife sees a stranger where her husband used to be. His son watches him disappear behind locked doors, burner phones, and fabricated excuses. And with every new breakthrough, Elias uncovers a darker truth: the coming invasion is not an attack in the ordinary sense. It is part of a system far older than humanity. To survive what is coming, Elias will need more than weapons. He will need allies, answers, and a way to fight something that does not think like a living enemy. Because when the Gate finally opens, brute force will not be enough. LIGHT is a dark sci-fi cosmic horror novel about engineering against the apocalypse, the cost of foresight, and a man trying to save his family without becoming unrecognizable in the process.
