Deep beneath the world of Lytheos, humanity survives in a labyrinth of steel, stone, and eternal dark-and believes nothing exists beyond it. For generations, the Geotheocracy has preached a single, unshakable truth: There is no Surface. There never was. To question it is rebellion. Even to say the word 'sublevel' is heresy. Narkvosu, once a scholar of forbidden histories, sets out to wander the sublevels as an exile.
He has spent years studying relics that contradict doctrine-ancient cities, decoding abandoned scriptures, and questioning a history the Geotheocracy insists is absolute. The Horizon is a myth. The Sun is a cautionary fable. There is no such thing as a Sky. If, however, such things were real, everything the Geotheocracy teaches is a lie. As he climbs through the dead, dry caverns-where the air thins and fungus forests guard ancestral secrets-Narkvosu uncovers evidence of a civilization that came before his own, one that may have stood beneath the Stars.
A truth so dangerous, it could remake the entire world. or destroy it for knowing it. SUBLEVEL is a tense, atmospheric dieselpunk sci-fi thriller about belief, censorship, and the fight to reclaim forbidden history. This is the ascent toward a truth no one is allowed to speak.
