The Void is the biggest secret of the technology-obsessed city of Metropolis.

It's a surging, gaping hole in the ground.

It's also the coming of the end of the world.

On the day the next Architect of Metropolis turns twenty, they're told the truth: the world is unraveling, and it's their responsibility to rebuild what's left. But first, they must leave the only life they've ever known and travel across distant lands. No guide. Just a journal, a fading prophecy, and the growing silence of a dying world.

What begins as exile soon becomes a reckoning-with the past, the self, and a world on the brink. As days through the sandy dunes outside of the city blur into dust and silence, the Architect finds an unlikely companion in a small scorpion named Kronos, and begins to question everything: their destiny, beliefs, and what it means to live purposefully amongst the chaos.

After all, what do you do in a world filled with division, corruption, doom-scrolling-and you're the one meant to save it?

Listen, the World is Ending is a genre-defying journey of solitude and transformation. A deeply immersive, soul-stirring read, it follows the Architect as they navigate vast deserts, strange cities, and the maze of their own mind, while exploring a future overrun by advanced technology and the power our hopes and dreams can have on determining our reality.

Perfect for fans of The Midnight Library and The Alchemist, this novel invites readers to slow down, listen deeply, and reimagine what it means to build, to belong, and to begin again.
