Seventeen-year-old Elara Quinn thought she was just dreaming strange dreams. But when her reflection begins to move on its own and reality itself starts to unravel, she's thrust into Virelia-a crumbling parallel world teetering on the edge of collapse.
Hunted by masked Sweepers and haunted by a version of herself that isn't quite human, Elara discovers she's the living tether between two dimensions. Her resonance could heal the fracture-or break everything apart. Trapped between two worlds, two selves, and a boy with secrets of his own, Elara must choose: stay safe in the life she knew... or awaken the truth that could destroy her.
One girl. Two realities. Infinite consequences.
