The Lantern Edge cover

The Lantern Edge

Pop-Science / Speculative • Cinematic, luminous, uncanny

A story of discovery at the fragile edge where light meets shadow. A ship, a signal, a mind that refuses to accept the universe’s easy answers. When the map blinks, something is looking back.

Tip: if you’re not live yet, rename buttons to “Preorder” or “Coming soon”. Keep the layout and swap links later.

About

A clear signal flare for readers, librarians, and collaborators.

J. Kepler Arden writes stories that linger at the edge of the known, where curiosity becomes pressure and the cosmos answers in riddles instead of receipts. Their work braids scientific wonder with human-scale stakes.

The Lantern Edge explores what happens when a ship’s map stops agreeing with the sky, and the sky refuses to explain itself.
