The Merged War

The navigational traditions have gone to war.

Sable Maren — palace builder, expedition navigator, reluctant leader — watches as the world she helped construct tears itself apart. The weapons are unlike any in human history: dissolution bombs that eat identity, erasure fields that remove the self, cutting tools that sever a person's future from their present. The war is fought in consciousness, and the casualties are not bodies but minds.

As territories merge and shatter, as alliances form and betray, as the cost of the conflict mounts in ways that no tribunal will ever fully document, Sable must navigate the most dangerous territory of all: a world where the architecture of consciousness has been weaponized, and the builders have become targets.

Epic in scope, devastating in consequence. The Merged War is the fourth novel in The Navigations.
