He refused one order. They executed him for it. Then he woke somewhere worse than death.
The world ended a decade ago. Elijah Cole has spent the years since as a soldier in its ruins, carrying a creased photograph of the daughter he hasn't seen in eight months, and the memory of a sky that was once blue.
Death was meant to be the end of him. It wasn't. He wakes in the Threshold, a vast machine-afterlife where the dead are processed and sorted, and where a living man is the one thing that should not exist.
That makes him a weapon. The Threshold has a war to fight, and every time it uses him, something is stripped away: a memory, a face, a name. He is forgetting the colour of his daughter's eyes.
But Luna is still alive in the fractured world below. Eleven years old, she makes her way east through the ruins, counting what no one else notices, surviving a place that would rather she'd been forgotten. As long as Elijah can hold on to her, her face, her voice, the sound of her laugh, he can believe he'll find his way home. The trouble is that holding on is the one thing the Threshold is taking from him.
To save her, he has to remember her. To survive the Threshold, he has to forget himself.
The Weight of Stars is the first book of the Threshold Trilogy: literary fantasy for readers who want a world built and a heart broken in the same breath. For readers of Emily St. John Mandel, Susanna Clarke, and Cormac McCarthy.
