The Waking Margin by M. Vael is now available

We are pleased to announce that The Waking Margin, the first book in M. Vael’s The Nacre Threshold, is now available.

Eleven months after a catastrophic event fused 340 researchers into a single screaming consciousness, the orbital station Acheron-7 is a quarantine zone held together by a skeleton crew and protocol.

Dr. Sable Mirin arrives to map the fused entity and determine if the minds can be separated. She is calm, methodical, and certain of one thing: consciousness is a phenomenon to be observed. Not experienced. Not joined. Then the memories start. Vivid, embodied recollections of a life she never lived. They are not random. They follow a pattern. And the pattern leads deeper into the station than anyone has been since the doors were sealed.

Dark sci-fi for readers who want their horror earned, their science unsettling, and their questions answered with worse questions.
