Children of the Void: Starless and wild, the children remember

The void is not absence but the echo of all we have lost.”Across the scarred edges of a broken galaxy, four children carry marks that should have destroyed them. Instead, the void whispered their names—and gave them back to each other.
Sol, the girl who writes echoes into a journal no one else can read.
Niko, a fallen prince whose family crest is nothing but slag and shame.
Sera, who keeps her faith alive through charms carved from grief.
Fox, the wild one who laughs like thunder and dances upside down in ruins.
Together they follow a song long erased from the stars, chasing the myth of Caldera—a world said to heal the broken and rewrite the forgotten. Every empire, cult, and crown insists Caldera was a lie. But the void remembers. And so do they.
As they cross scarzones where sound dies, temples that hang upside down, and shipyards haunted by living memories, the children are hunted by those who fear what they might become. Empires demand obedience. Cults sanctify ruin. Devourers feed on silence. But the marked are something different—monsters, saviors, rebels, or perhaps the chorus of a future no one else dares to believe in.
The void was never meant to be a weapon. It was sanctuary—built for broken time, lost memory, and children without gravity. Now it has been corrupted by fear, doctrine, and war. To reclaim it, Sol and her crew must face not just the enemies at their heels, but the choices they might one day become. A prince who rules on bones. A healer who becomes a god. A girl who remembers too much. A boy who becomes nothing at all.
Every choice writes a future. Every echo reshapes the stars. And every child who joins them adds a verse to the growing song.
Children of the Void is a sweeping, cinematic space opera of found family, fractured memory, and mythic rebellion. It blends the lyrical heart of fantasy with the epic scale of science fiction, carrying readers from ruined empires to living starships, from cradle-worlds to the edge of story itself. At its core it is about children who should have been broken, but who instead chose something gentler.
Why readers love it:
A found-family crew bound by scars, laughter, and impossible hope.
Epic settings: scarzones that pulse like dying hearts, rivers that flow upward, cities made of singing trees.
Themes of memory, healing, and identity—perfect for readers who crave emotional depth alongside cosmic adventure.
A story that starts with survival and builds into a revolution of meaning.
For fans of Arcane, Dune, The Hunger Games, and N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy—this is science fiction that sings, bites, and heals in equal measure.
In the silence between wars, in the dark between stars, a rumor begins. Of four marked children and a living ship. Of monsters that weren’t. Of a song carried in the bones of those who had been forgotten.
The void listens. The void remembers.
And when the children step forward, hand in hand, the stars bend to hear them.
