The Inkwarp Effect: 1

Dare Ellion used to worry about misplaced commas and dangling modifiers. As a meticulous copy editor, precision was his life. But when he discovers The Verityboard, a sleek obsidian typewriter that makes every sentence he strikes come true, precision becomes a curse. Through the phenomenon of Inkwarp, Dare's well-intentioned prose begins to unravel reality in the most literal ways possible. When he writes that a man "rose to fame," he watches in horror as the man levitates into the stratosphere. With his skeptical friend Felix Greave documenting every disastrous definition, Dare must stay one step ahead of Dr. Enid Volarre, a ruthless narrative engineer who wants the machine for herself. In a world where a typo can end a life, Dare must learn that the most dangerous thing about writing isn't the blank page-it's the period at the end of the sentence.
