It’s that I can’t divide gravity.” Hennessy frowns. “What do you mean?” “Binary systems work when both stars have enough mass to maintain a stable orbit,” I explain, my hand resting on my belly. “If one of the stars can’t sustain the necessary gravitational force, the system collapses.”

The hour was late, the night was magic, the tourists had melted away into the mists, leaving the two of them alone, drenched in moonlight beside the water. Gabriel was going to kiss her. She wanted him to kiss her. Ached for it. As he slowly lowered his head to hers, her whole body vibrated, leaning forward, yearning… But as she closed her eyes and leaned up for his kiss, Calleigh suddenly found herself standing five feet away from him.

The Intimacy of the Gravity-Well The arrival of the Void-Star brought a physical and emotional "Heaviness" to the North. As the parasite began to pull at the planet’s frequency, our bodies felt twice as heavy, and our thoughts began to lag, caught in the gravitational drag of the entity’s hunger. Before the first siphons touched the Spires, Félix and I retreated to the Chamber of the Seven Senses at the heart of the Spire.
