Where Gravity Devours Us

Abandoned in a hanging city above a molten inner sun, seismic engineer Daro Senn survives by trading his equilibrium with Nhal, the fault-serpent guardian. Their senses—and bodies—draw dangerously close while Daro hides the compass chained to his belt. When it reveals itself as the beacon driving the fatal gravity tides, one confession may be the only way to keep Nhal human and their world intact.

A betrayed engineer trades his balance with a monster guardian, unaware the compass in his pocket is calling an inner sun to devour them.
