The Widening Gyre

From the ashes of common ancestors, can new societies forge a united path?

When Amos, exiled from the Col'kasid, is discovered by a scout team from an unknown tribe, he finds himself embroiled in a struggle for peace. Together with Kaius, a New Emilian with a checkered past, and Gideon, the great-grandson of the founder of the Col'kasid, they face a daunting task: bridging the divide between two societies with vastly different beliefs and histories.

But as the three tribes try to find common ground, a new threat emerges from the shores of the Barren Sea. The Zhanshi, a tribe formed from blood, has been waiting for a chance to arise as the only power on the planet. With the discovery of a ship that brought their ancestors from Earth, their technological advancements are stronger than ever, and they are ready to wage war.

With betrayal and vengeance lurking in the shadows, the fragile partnership between the three tribes is threatened. As they face off in an explosive showdown, the question remains: can they overcome their differences and unite against a common enemy, or will they be destroyed by their own desires for power?

The Widening Gyre is a gripping tale of extensive world-building, betrayal, and quest for power. If you love science fiction that explores the depths of humanity, then Benjamin X. Wretlind's fourth book in the Transit anthropological series is a must-read.
