The First Equation

About this book

In the engineered continent of Eidolon, magic is a rigid science enforced by the Academy's Axiomsmiths. When young con artist Rook Sable steals a star-metal compass that points deep into the Unwritten Expanse—a dangerous, unpredictable fog-ocean where the laws of reality break down—he is caught and blackmailed into guiding an Academy expedition instead of facing execution. The expedition includes Ianthe Vale, an idealistic Academy prodigy; Sir Kessam, a disillusioned oath-knight; and Moth, a rune-automaton beginning to question its own programming. Together, they navigate the treacherous, logic-defying Expanse, seeking the legendary First Equation, a primal Law that could either save humanity or trap it in a flawless, tyrannical cage. As the team ventures deeper, loyalties are tested, secrets are unraveled, and Rook must decide if he will finally stand for something beyond himself.
