At the end of time of the far edge of a s starless universe, where gravity bends time and memory alike, a space station clings to survival in orbit around a ravenous black hole. Rachel Dar—dutiful daughter, gifted mathematician, and rule-abiding citizen—has never questioned the Codes that govern life aboard the Station. But when her brother introduces her to a mysterious stranger, Rachel gets caught up in a journey that threatens to strip away all that she knows about her family, her beliefs, and the very future of her home.

As reality fractures and forgotten histories resurface, Rachel must decide who she wants to be: the obedient child of a broken society, or something far rarer and more dangerous. With a monstrous wraith hunting her and time collapsing all around, she races to uncover the secrets buried in the Station’s foundation—and in herself—before the void claims them all.

Darkly philosophical, emotionally charged, and set against a backdrop of hard science fiction concepts, DARK UNIVERSE is a speculative sci-fi novel that weaves cosmic perception, personal growth, and dystopian intrigue into a haunting story about identity, memory, and the true cost of survival.
