In the brutal, Aether-scarred city of Ironhaven, Kaelen Vance is a Rank Zero, a 'Hollow' whose dormant Resonance Core means he's nothing more than fuel for the powerful Awakened. Forced into a deadly salvage crew, Kaelen endures a life of acid rain and grinding labor, constantly reminded of his insignificance in a world where power defines survival. But when a monstrous Cinder-Maw Drake corners him, and his own crew abandons him to a fiery death, something impossible awakens within Kaelen. His core doesn't ignite with elemental power; it collapses into a terrifying Zero-Point Singularity, a conceptual anomaly that rejects all contact. Now, facing a world that wants him dead, Kaelen must master an ability that severs him from every sensation, every interaction, and every touch he has ever known. Can a boy who cannot be touched survive in a world built on power, or will his unique gift make him the ultimate weapon?
