The Breath After the Note continues the mythic odyssey of The Wanderer Chronicles—a poetic, introspective space opera where resonance, identity, and the shape of time are up for revision.

After ascending the Forbianna Ladder—a cosmic structure of memory and song—the crew of the Wanderer returns home. But what is home to those transformed by silence, light, and truth? Planets have shifted, harmonics have drifted, and even their own reflections no longer recognize them.

In this dreamlike descent, the crew encounters mirrored civilizations, ancient wars still echoing across the stars, and a universe that might just be listening. From planets where faces are earned by resonance to whispers from a time before light, the second book in The First Traverse explores the perilous art of returning changed.

And when the stars ask a question, the only answer may be us.
