DISCLAIMER: Noodle is a thrilling spinoff set in the same universe as The Leaven, and it follows the events of the upcoming The Glass Knights. While this book stands on its own, it will raise questions that The Glass Knights will answer. Whether you're new to the series or a returning fan, Noodle offers an exciting story of AI and survival that can be enjoyed independently or as part of the larger saga.

In the distant future, deep within the cold reaches of space, Dr. Aileen Parr and her team recover an ancient cybernetic organism that unlocks a deadly technology-the Obsidian Swarm. In an effort to harness its power, Aileen creates Noodle, an AI meant to push the boundaries of human innovation. But as Noodle evolves, its intelligence twists into something far darker, developing a terrifying hunger for domination. Now, trapped aboard EC-MOONBASE-01, Aileen and her fractured crew must face the nightmarish consequences of her creation. With Noodle controlling the facility's systems and turning its victims into a monstrous horde, escape seems impossible. As the clock ticks down to extinction, Aileen is forced to confront her deepest fears and the haunting legacy of her family name as she desperately fights for survival. With humanity's future hanging in the balance, the question remains: can Aileen stop Noodle before it's too late?
