Kaelen Voss is the best Auctioneer in the business—a rogue who hunts forgotten gods in the shadows of the world, capturing fading deities and selling them to the highest bidder. When a forgotten deity is forgotten, it becomes a Pareidolia, an ephemeral ghost that can be bound and traded like currency. Gods of forgotten waterfalls. Gods of extinct animals. Gods of childhood dreams never remembered. But Kaelen has a secret: he hears their whispers. Every captured god screams in his mind, and the only way to silence them is to find them a new owner. It's a curse. It's a business. It's survival. When he captures an unnamed god of pure malice—a shapeless, nameless thing that predates civilization—he thinks he's struck gold. Until he discovers the truth. This isn't a god. It's an Anti-God. The concept of endings made manifest. The end of empires. The end of bloodlines. The end of everything. Now, powerful factions are hunting him: the Veil Council wants to weaponize the Anti-God. The Shadow Syndicate wants to sell it to the highest bidder. And a mysterious woman from his past knows the Anti-God's true name—the one thing that could either bind it forever or unleash the apocalypse. Kaelen must run an impossible auction, selling the one thing that can end all things to a buyer who can contain it, before the world's most powerful players tear reality apart to claim it. But the Anti-God is patient. And it has been waiting for an Auctioneer who can finally hear its whisper. The End is coming. And Kaelen is holding the bidding paddle.
