Welcome to the Wanderlands.
A vast machine made for reasons unknown, the Wanderlands was broken long ago. First went the sky, splintering and cracking, and then very slowly, the whole machine—the whole world—began to go dark.
Meet the Failures.
Following the summons of a strange dream, a scattering of adventurers, degenerates, and children find themselves drawn toward the same place: the vast underground Keep. They will discover there that they have been called for a purpose—and that purpose could be the destruction of everything they love.
The end is nigh.
For below the Keep, imprisoned in the greatest cage ever built by magicians and gods, lies the buried Giant. It is the most powerful of its kind, and its purpose is the annihilation of all civilization. But any kind of power, no matter how terrible, is precious in the dimming Wanderlands, and those that crave it are making their moves.
All machines can be broken, and the final cracks are spreading. It will take only the careless actions of two cheerful monsters to tip the Wanderlands towards an endless dark ... or help it find its way back to the light.
"The Failures is the kind of book you find maybe once, under a blood moon, if you're lucky enough to wander off the trail ... an unabashed triumph of speculativefiction. It's not exactly science fiction, not quite fantasy ... deep, thrilling (I'm looking at you, Deadsmith), and masterfully atmospheric."—Daniel Cohen, author of the Coldmaker Saga
