*KIRKUS REVIEWS 2021 INDIE BOOK OF THE YEAR*
"Iovino keeps the mystery at full-throttle with this inventive and infectious science fiction adventure." —Publishers Weekly 2021 Booklife Prize
What if the Earth simply... stopped?
In SKYBOUND, that terrifying "what if" becomes reality. Half of the planet is locked in unending night, the other half scorched by relentless day. Seas surge toward the magnetic poles, tectonic shifts rock entire continents, and civilization teeters on the edge of collapse. No one knows why this is happening—or how to stop it.
Panic, desperation, and wild theories fill the air. Some say it's a freak of physics, others blame extraterrestrial interference, while the devout see signs of the apocalypse. But one thing is certain: the massive metallic object that appeared without warning in the sky holds the answer.
At the heart of this chaos are two siblings from a quiet town, suddenly thrust into a mystery that could remake—or end—humanity as they know it. Together, they confront forces far beyond their understanding, racing against time to solve the most haunting question of all: What's up there... and what does it want?
Genre: Science Fiction
