The Fracturing (The Grey Deep)

By Jalál C. Hockett

"By the time I finished, I was so invested I emailed the author to tell him I couldn't wait for the next book." - Amazon Reader

A Grey Deep Novel - Book One

The world isn't ending.

It's breaking apart.

A naval officer loses everything when political ambition destroys his family and his future.

A young raider discovers he was born for violence-and begins to fear the hunger growing inside him.

A commander's daughter watches her world burn and learns that survival sometimes demands blood.

And somewhere far from war and politics, a small girl awakens powers tied to something ancient stirring beneath The Grey Deep.

They have never met.
They don't know they're part of the same story.

But the world is fracturing.

Kingdoms are splintering.
Old powers are stirring.
And the choices made will shape what rises from the ruins.

No heroes.
No chosen ones.
Just people forced to decide who they are when everything falls apart.

If you enjoy grimdark fantasy, morally complex characters, and epic stories where every decision has consequences, you'll feel right at home in the Grey Deep.
