Shadows Beneath the Broken Sky
(2026)(The second book in the Broken Sky Trilogy series)
A novel by M P McDonald
Seattle is changing.
The harvests are improving. New settlers arrive every week. For the first time in generations, people are building instead of merely surviving.
Jon and Willa should be happy.
Instead, something feels wrong.
Jon hears strange frequencies beneath the Veil lights now—tones that feel less like sound and more like memory. Strangers have begun arriving in Seattle asking quiet questions about the man who touched the sky. And as Willa expands the settlement’s fragile radio network, signals start slipping through that were never meant to reach Earth again.
Far above them, something is waking.
But life in Seattle goes on. Buildings need clearing. Power lines need repairing. New families need homes before winter deepens. Around shared fires and work crews, people are beginning to imagine a future again.
Which is exactly what makes the growing fractures so dangerous.
Because the truth behind the Veil was never fully buried.
And if it returns, it could change not only Seattle—but humanity itself.
Shadows Beneath the Broken Sky is the haunting second novel in M.P. McDonald''s Broken Sky series, blending post-apocalyptic survival, quiet human connection, and slowly unfolding cosmic mystery.
Genre: Science Fiction
