In a fractured multiverse teetering on the edge of collapse, the last line of defense is R.I.F.T., a team of elite warriors tasked with containing dimensional anomalies and combating an ancient, malevolent organization: the Obsidian Syndicate.
Caesar Drayden never wanted to lead, but the chaos within him left him no choice. Haunted by the presence of Rebel-his twin brother fused to his soul-Caesar struggles to protect his team while battling the darkness threatening to consume him.
As worlds fall and alliances are tested, Caesar must unite a team as diverse and broken as the multiverse itself:
• Rosie O'Connor, a speedster with a sharp wit and a dangerous secret.
• Casanova Vryne, the stoic tactician burdened by a tragic past.
• Aurora, the icy strategist whose calm exterior hides a heart of fire.
• And Rebel, the shadow Caesar cannot escape, a force as destructive as it is terrifying.
But when the Syndicate's plans are revealed, the stakes grow higher than ever. To stop them, Caesar must not only master his abilities but uncover the truth about his family, the multiverse, and the power that binds them all together: the Branches of Infinity.
The first step into a sweeping saga of loyalty, sacrifice, and the battle for existence itself, Branches of Infinity is a story of fractured heroes standing against impossible odds.
Will Caesar control the chaos within, or will it destroy everything he's sworn to protect?
