Hyper Object Vol. 1 is an electrifying kickstart to a grand science fiction and fantasy adventure.
A subterranean kingdom, where some can control shapeshifting crystals, starts to implode when a long-lost stone of immense strength is awoken by a rejected woman without powers.
It’s the old world against the new as family lines, social structures, and the control of the most powerful crystal clash in this fast-paced series.
Plot Synopsis
The Hyper Object is a mythical artifact said to grant unimaginable power to its wielder. Few believe it truly exists, but those who do would stop at nothing to find it.
As volume one begins, Lees has almost come to terms with being a powerless mite after having been forcefully relocated to Last Light two years ago. Life this deep below the surface is unglamorous, hard, and vastly different from where she'd grown up, but Lees is good at her job and has made friends and very few enemies.
When two strangers arrive in town seeking the most powerful object in existence, Lees is caught in the conflict. Deep underground, it's Lees who finds the mythical artifact of immense power and is forced to make a terrible choice to protect herself and her community.

About the Authors

Kyle Keller
Mark Sidener
Shae Moloney lives in Minnesota and falsely believes the sub-zero-degree winters have made her a more resilient person. Shae’s been telling stories her whole life, and when she’s not writing professionally or recreationally, it’s because she’s being interrupted by her dog Lup. Her other published or recognized short fiction work includes Practice Makes Perfect, The Neighborhood, On the Other Side, and Cowboys After Dinner.
Kyle Keller has been staring at the inky black night sky and dreaming of fantastical worlds since he was old enough to have his first existential crisis. Since then, he hasn’t stopped feverishly scrawling his stories onto any medium he could get his hands on from film, tv, books, comics, music, and digital. Kyle loves creating entertainment and bringing the characters in his mind to life in our world. Somehow he convinced Mark and Shae, two of the most talented people in the world, to be his lifelong creative partners and he is all the better for it. This book and all of his ideas would not exist without them.
Mark Sidener has worked in the film industry over the last 14 years, exploring many different creative projects in that medium. During that time, he co-founded Outer Giant Studios with his best friend Kyle Keller to take their creative spirits to the next level! Some would say over level 9000. As an avid lover of all things anime, Mark currently binges countless series with his beloved cat Ms. Peaches when he’s not working on his own story.
