Joe has spent his whole life being told he is less than. Less than human. Less than holy. Less than worthy.

As a goblin in the Sovenreign Empire, his choices have always been simple: die in someone else’s war, break his back in a mine, or scrape coin from the jobs no-one else will take. When word reaches him of a wild frontier where every blade is welcome, Joe takes his twin swords & sails for the Heartlands Expanse - a savage, untamed continent of jungle, dinosaurs, & ancient ruin. But the Heartlands are hiding something old. Something hungry. Logging parties are vanishing. The dead are rising from the earth, their empty sockets burning with a cold blue light. Scattered across the jungle floor lie the pieces of a secret so dangerous that the gods themselves buried it - a truth about Aeorn’s past that the Empire’s church would burn cities to keep silent. Thrown together with an exiled ved princess on the run from her own people, a janqua huntress on a sacred coming-of-age walk far from home, & a young druid who talks to plants & can turn into a raptor, Joe finds himself chasing a mystery deeper than any of them bargained for. One that leads not merely to the ruins of a lost civilization, but toward something vast & nameless sealed beyond the edges of the universe - something that has been waiting, patient & ravenous, for a very, very long time.

Beneath a Starless Sky is a character-driven adventure about the outcasts who try to save a world that never asked for them. It is a story about found family forged in mud & bone, about the lies that hold empires together, & about what it means to be treated as less than - & choose to be so much more. Above the planet Aeorn, the sky holds no stars. Only the dark. But the dark is not empty.
