Koneers

Koneers is a fictional species from the science fiction novel "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. Within the narrative, Koneers are depicted as a race of beings who inhabit a liminal space between worlds. They are described as being made of shadows and moonlight, and they are capable of traversing vast distances instantaneously. Their exact nature and origins are kept somewhat mysterious, contributing to the dreamlike and fantastical atmosphere of the novel.

The Koneers play a significant role in the plot, acting as guardians and guides within the narrative's hidden library and the interconnected worlds it contains. They are often associated with secrets, forgotten stories, and the passage of time. While not antagonists, their motivations and actions can be ambiguous, reflecting the complex and often surreal nature of the story. Their presence adds an element of the otherworldly and the ancient to the human characters' journey through the Starless Sea.
