BINARIUS, A TALE OF VICTIM AND PERPETRATOR, AND THOSE WHO INEVITABLY -- ARE BOTH. Somewhere beneath, within, outside the timelines of the cosmos, a planet has been tactically infected with poison. For this reason, Firinne lives with constant anxiety. She remembers a time when she was normal; before The Blacken came. Seemingly overnight, she is faced with betrayal, forcing her to abandon Citrine. What she finds is a world gone mad. Hunted by her betrayer and packs of mechanical creatures - she finds a ruin that lights up the sky, and an electric orphan who hides in the shadows. Together, they discover a prophecy that could ensure the survival of their planet - if they can manage to stay alive. The end of The Blacken might be near, but sometimes endings are disguised as new beginnings -- and some endings last forever.

Woodpecker says the end of the world is coming, there's a dead body on a bed, an empty field in Somerset is somehow connected to a secret government project, and Samantha Brock is the only one that can discover the truth of what is happening and stop it, but then that isn't really the point. In the days following the death of her mother, Samantha (Sam) Brock goes walking in the woods. She is visited by a woodpecker who, speaking in her mother's voice, prophesises the end of the world. She tells Sam that she must discover the truth behind what is happening and prevent it. The impending "death of everything" acts as a backdrop to the personal grief experienced by the central character, and the three minor characters of the novel. Each is mourning in their own way, and each is unknowingly important to unlocking the secret of what is causing the sky to turn green and snow to fall in June. Ben Erwin is Sam's recently ex-husband and a journalist chasing a story about a mysterious government project, Stuart Levitsky is a prime number obsessed mathematics prodigy, and DCI John Geering is a detective investigating the discovery of a dead body in a forensically clean flat in London. With the help of Woodpecker, who appears several times to deliver important information to Sam, their stories cross and finally collide. As the emerald-coloured apocalypse approaches they are catapulted towards a dramatic ending with equally dramatic conclusions. I hope you like the story and find time to vote and comment - love hearing your thoughts.
