Skybound - Book 0: The Shattering

By Loïc Erwan Sévêque

Ten years ago, the Earth shattered.

In four regions of the world, the Earth's crust ruptured, hurling entire fragments into the air. Cities, villages, families, everything was torn from the ground and left floating in the sky.

Antoine Sevran was five years old when his world collapsed.

Vidauban, his Proven al village, is now an island suspended two kilometers above the ground. Around them, nothing but emptiness. Below, the clouds. And everywhere, other pieces of land drifting slowly, for no apparent reason.

While his father, Gildas, reinforces the island's edges to keep people from falling, and his mother, Napha, struggles to reconnect with her family in Bangkok, Antoine grows up. He observes. He builds. He dreams.

He wants to understand why the islands float.
He wants to learn how to fly.

The Shattering was only the beginning.

SKYBOUND - BOOK 0: THE SHATTERING is the first volume of a science-fiction saga set in a fragmented world where humanity must relearn how to live suspended between sky and earth. A story of resilience, family, and hope in the face of the impossible.

Perfect for fans of hard science fiction, post-apocalyptic worlds, and survival stories with a strong human core.
