Before vaultsong, before glyphbraid, before silence had a name... the world beneath was waiting. The Beneath Binding is a poetic, emotionally resonant science fantasy novel set in the vault-shadows of a fractured galaxy. Deep beneath forgotten soil, the Underfolk survive in ritual, memory, and silence-until something shifts. When a glyph is discovered that should not exist, one spiral-shaped being hears something forbidden. Not a voice. Not a command. A question. That question fractures tradition, reshapes memory, and awakens the Beneath to truths the surface has long buried. This is a story for those who feel forgotten. For those who know grief doesn't end, it echoes. For those who understand that survival isn't enough-you have to make it mean something. "Reads like sacred myth fused with science fiction. Haunting, bold, and strangely beautiful." "The kind of book that lingers after the last page. Vaultsong for the soul." Perfect For Readers Who Love Thoughtful, character-driven science fiction Quiet rebellion instead of loud explosions Lyrical prose with mythic weight Alien cultures, memory-based tech, and deep worldbuilding Stories where silence has power and grief can guide Features
