The Last Echo of the First Word
The universe wasn't born from a bang. It was born from a Word. Now, it’s forgetting how to speak.
Reality is coming undone. It starts with small "glitches"—rain falling upwards, reflections moving on their own, echoes of dead stars reappearing in the sky. But then a city of three million people is wiped from existence, leaving behind a perfectly smooth patch of land that radiates pure silence.
The universe isn't just dying. It's being deleted.
Kaelen, a disgraced linguist exiled for tampering with the fabric of time, is the only one who understands the truth. These glitches are cosmic typos. The fundamental language of reality is breaking down. Dragged back into service by a government that fears him, Kaelen is paired with a hardened soldier grieving her lost home and sent on an impossible travel to the conceptual center of the universe and fix the source code of creation before it all dissolves into nothing.
Their journey will take them through worlds that defy physics, hunted by creatures made of paradox and silence. But the greatest threat isn't the unraveling of space-time. It’s the horrifying secret they uncover at the heart of creation—a secret that will force Kaelen to choose between saving the universe that is, or risking everything on a single, new, universe-defining word.
Fans of Dark Matter, Project Hail Mary, and Annihilation will be captivated by this intelligent, high-stakes metaphysical thriller. If you love stories that challenge your perception of reality, explore the nature of language and consciousness, and deliver a jaw-dropping, epic conclusion, you must read The Last Echo of the First Word.
