Ama is two days from her graduate program at Montana State when she pulls off a Wyoming highway to rest her eyes. She wakes on bare earth beneath unfamiliar stars. Her car is gone. The highway is gone.

The world she’s fallen into looks like Wyoming—the Red Desert, the Great Divide Basin, sage and sandstone—but it runs on different rules. People here develop capabilities: the ability to move water, heat stone, push air in ways physics back home can’t explain.

Those without capabilities survive on skill, trade, and instincts about who to trust. Esah arrived the same way.

A young man from Wamsutter who woke one morning to find his world replaced, he’s further into the Basin’s economy of survival than Ama—and deeper into its dangers.

What neither of them understands is why people keep arriving. Or what happens to the ones who don’t adapt. Splinter is a science-fantasy portal novel set in an alternate Wyoming where elemental magic functions like physics and survival depends on knowledge as much as power.
