An impossible ship awakens between the stars-a vast harmonic being known only as the Wanderer. It speaks in light, navigates on song, and trades in stories rather than coin. Those who travel inside its resonant halls are forever changed.

Book One - The Inward Spiral Captain Aelric accepts a contract too seductive to refuse: guide the Wanderer through a collapsing resonance corridor before it seals forever. But the corridor listens back, rewriting the crew's memories with every pulse of light.

Book Two - The Harmonic Gate Far beyond charted space, a gate that was never built waits to be sung open. Inside lies either a new physics-or a perfect mirror that lies. When the Wanderer hears its own voice calling from the other side, the crew must decide which song is truly theirs.

Book Three - Echoes of the Plasma Mirror Reality fractures along a seam of colour, unleashing bureaucratic caretakers who file existence under "pending." To restore the weave, the Trinity (Captain, Keeper, and Ship) must confront an authorial presence that may be writing them out of their own story.

Collected for the first time, The First Traverse Trilogy presents the complete opening arc of the Wanderer Chronicles-remastered, re-harmonised, and stitched into a single continuum. Expect mischievous space-opera banter, kaleidoscopic set pieces, and stretches of contemplative quiet where the cosmos itself seems to breathe.

For fans of Becky Chambers' Wayfarers, Catherynne M. Valente's Space Opera, and Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch-but spun through a lens of lyrical absurdity all its own.

Board the Wanderer, slip the surly bonds of linear time, and discover why stories are the most valuable cargo in the universe.me.
