❖ American Fiction Award Winner
❖ IAN Book of the Year Winner
The novel that begins the Chaos Trilogy.
In a world ruled by Order, imagination is dangerous.
Galen’s father is content hauling nets from the sea. Galen is not. He wants stories, possibility—something beyond what the temples of Order allow.
He takes after his lost mother, who once felt a pull no one could explain. She followed it and never returned.
Now the same pull is reaching for him.
Across the world, those who feel the Longing go to the temples of Order. No one speaks of a Longing for Chaos. It leads to an ancient vault where Chaos has been locked away for centuries—and those drawn to it are never seen again.
There is a prophecy about that vault.
Only the Child of Chaos can open it.
Horace, once Galen’s childhood tormentor, believes he is the Child. He has risen within the temple of Evil but strains against its rigid hierarchy. Chaos will give him what Order never would.
And the world will pay the price.
The prophecy promises the vault will open.
What happens next depends on who enters.
