The day Nolan split himself in two, he leaves the hotel with a goal in mind and an empty place in his heart. It doesn't take long for all of his plans to be tossed to the wind.

From Marcella. With Oliver and her family gone, Avie is forced to live out years in a world that has grown increasingly hostile to everything she holds dear. Her only desire is to survive long enough to be able to return to her daughter. But when a dangerous man shows interest in her, she fears all of her efforts will end with a noose around her neck. Interconnected stories in multiple realities; escapes, rescues, murder-all converging in a climax that may save one world while destroying another. Welcome to the conclusion of the Fold Series!
