Claire Pendleton has seen the thin spots between dimensions since she was five, when another reality merged into her family's apartment and killed her mother. Ten years later, those weak spots start opening during her sister's graduation — and the boundaries between realities collapse. Trapped in a global disaster, Claire finds a powerful system granting her skills and power-ups. A shadowy agency resisting the anomalous apocalypse takes interest in her. Now she must fight unknowable horrors, answer inexplicable inquiries, and reckon with globe-spanning organizations to discover the truth about the apocalypse, her family, and what she is becoming.
