Where It All Begins

The Tale of
Edgar Trunk

Book One  ·  Jason O. Silva

In a dying world where light has begun to disappear, ten-year-old Edgar Trunk has never known life beyond the factory.

Inside its crumbling walls, there is only one rule: survive. The machines still run — barely. The people still work — quietly. And no one talks about what lies beyond.

But Edgar has always noticed what others ignore — patterns in the machines, vibrations in the walls that almost resemble words… or thoughts.

And something else.

Something watching.

When a strange knocking sound draws Edgar deeper into the factory than he's ever been, he uncovers something impossible: the system isn't failing. It's adapting. And it has chosen him.

Now, with something hunting him from the dark and something else watching from beyond, Edgar must uncover the truth of what he is… before the factory decides it no longer needs him.

Characters & World

✦   ✦   ✦

Edgar Trunk

Orphaned at age one, Edgar has spent his entire life inside the factory. Curious, perceptive, and quietly brave — he notices things others have learned to ignore.

Uncle Warnock

Towering, monstrous, and cruel. The man who raised Edgar inside the factory walls, and who burns any book he finds.

Stewpot

Lanky, awkward, and unexpectedly loyal. The only friend Edgar has ever known inside the factory.

IT

The terrifying force that hunts Edgar through the factory's dark corridors. Its nature is unclear — but its intent is not.

The Factory

More than a setting — the factory is a character unto itself. It breathes, it watches, and it has been waiting for Edgar.

The World Machine

A legendary system rumored to lie at the factory's heart. No one knows what it does — or why it has begun to stir.
