Driving home after a bad day, Danielle "Dan" Lent is transported from her car into a subterranean laboratory. Confused and disoriented, she has no choice but to trust the stranger Ric, who claims to be a time agent. He recruits Dan to investigate illegal time travel. However, Dan finds herself caught in a loop of time switches, thrown back and forth between the lab and a rainy parking lot where a stray border collie offers her company. Desperate to find a way home, Dan tries to figure out why she has become the pawn of criminal forces-and why her name and scientific work seem to be so important a few centuries down the line. With the help of Ric and her new dog friend, Dan sets out to untangle the twisted timelines. In a race against time, she is risking everything she has-her life, love, and future.

For students of the Wynter Academy, the virtual world of Cytronica is the perfect after-school hangout. A private realm just for them and the local bots-no teachers, no parents. Tired of its boring ways, five students find a way to tweak its code, altering the world as creatively as they see fit. The realm has limitless potential and possibilities; letting it go to waste would be a crime. But rewriting the rules has consequences-what starts off as a fun experiment quickly becomes a dangerous situation as the once-safe world transforms into a lawless dystopia. They need to make a decision: reset the realm before the school finds out, or push its boundaries and embrace the carnage. But not all agree, and the students are forced to choose a side. And as the chaos intensifies, an all-out virtual war looms, where only the strongest can survive. A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR READING AND VOTING! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
