She has no idea she was born in another universe. Now she has to face a past that should have stayed hidden.
A secluded college campus in California holds a strange secret: It's linked, via an ancient, sentient entity called the pirisma, to a parallel world where history mirrored ours until a shocking change. No one outside a closely guarded research project realizes that most people on our earth have doubles in this other world... some of whom are pursuing deadly agendas.
To scientist Carlos Brujo, the elusive and long-dormant pirisma's return is an object of wonder and excitement. To retired Brigadier Gen. Ephraim Montrose, the reopening may presage an invasion that threatens an unprepared world. But to artist Hannah Fleischer, who's newly engaged to a police detective, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Strange perceptions trouble Hannah, who has no idea she was smuggled as a child from the parallel world. When the link between the universes reactivates unexpectedly, cascading events thrust Hannah into the center of a crisis that could destroy both her worlds.
