A girl chasing freedom. A boy bound by duty. A rebellion that will change everything.
Ava and Dom thought they had escaped the Mohirai, but their journey has just begun. Haunted by visions of worlds beyond her own, Ava struggles to control the strange new power awakening inside her—an ability to cross branches of reality. Each time she slips between worlds, she glimpses another Dom, another fate, and another piece of the mystery that binds them together. But with every crossing, the boundaries of her identity begin to blur.
Dom, his loyalties torn between the Mohirai and Ava, fights to resist the forces drawing Ava deeper into mysteries beyond his control. While he fights to hold on to Ava, she is pulled toward a path only she can walk—one that could unlock the secrets of the Voice in All, or destroy her mind entirely.
As old enemies resurface and the rebellion against the Mohirai reaches its tipping point, Ava and Dom must face the wrenching truth that the freedom they seek comes at the cost of life itself.
On their journey together from a mythic past to a digital future, Ava and Dom must answer the question facing every generation coming of age in a world ruled by the powerful: do we submit, or rebel?
