Advance Praise

“An absolutely mind-bending science fiction novel set in a complex multiverse. This book is dense (like a rich, tasty cake is dense), it is intricate, it is at times jaw-droppingly strange (and I mean that as a sincere compliment), and it kept me hooked through all its twists and turns.”

Maria Haskins, author of Six Dreams About the Train


“Action, political intrigue, and exploration of what makes up a soul combine in this debut novel for a complicated and worthwhile ride into a new multidimensional series.”

Betsy Aoki, video game producer and author of Breakpoint
