A conduit can look like anything: a necklace, a bracelet, a wristwatch. People use them to store the blueprints for things: clothes, guns, toothbrushes. When you need something, your conduit materializes it and there you have it. Everyone uses conduits.

Aidan Rennick doesn’t need one. He can make things materialize without a conduit. He might not even need blueprints. That’s what makes Aidan a cybermancer.

Aidan is special, and powerful people want to control him. So, he’s on the run. But there’s only three cities left on Earth, and all the rest is the Gravesands: acid-soaked deserts where everything dies.

Aidan finds himself returning to a past he never wanted to see again, with trouble hot on his heels. But the past was already in trouble, and, Aidan may only make it worse. Being powerful doesn’t stop him from making mistakes, it just makes them leave deeper cuts.

Synchronize is the first book in Hartz’s Gravesands series. Get reading now so you’re ready for the next one, because it’s gonna be worth it.
