The Tenth Marble

Nine were found with the body. The tenth was waiting.

The corpse should have been the worst thing in the room. Instead, attention settles on the black marbles found around it—smooth, identical objects arranged with the care of evidence and the intimacy of a message.

As the investigation widens, the marbles begin appearing where they cannot have been placed. People lose movements, voices and pieces of time. Something without a body is discovering what bodies can do.

The Tenth Marble begins The Ordinary Impossible trilogy: a story of vessels, escalating powers and an intelligence assembling its way towards desire.
