About Transmentation | Transience
Transmentation | Transience is a vast mind bending multi world spanning novel. The book is set in a universe that has emerged over thousands of years and covers thousands of worlds; a universe in which interdimensional travellers have arisen. These are worlds replete with complex characters seeking power, glory or knowledge, stunning world building and cutting-edge science fiction concepts. The book is an intricately woven work that raises questions about the very nature of the universe, and has already been compared to the works of Tamsyn Muir, Jeff VanderMeer, and The Expanse series.
