A life lost. A family broken. A reality torn.
One
Dante has big dreams, even as he deals with difficult classes, college rejection letters, a lovesick friend, and the annoying but pretty bassist from jazz band. With high school graduation marching ever closer, his future’s looking pretty set in stone.
Until he starts seeing creatures come through portals.
Now, with time manipulation abilities he can’t explain, Dante is tasked with helping these extra-dimensional creatures (XDs) who stumble into this universe—before the notorious Bouvard family can get to them first.
Two
Two months later, Dante is dead. Mei June mourns him, even as she braces for a future without him.
But it’s hard to move on when your dead boyfriend keeps texting you.
With no answers and only a vague understanding of Dante’s duties, MJ tries to find a way to help the XDs—and maybe save Dante.
Three
As the only remaining child of the Bouvards, Natalie has one job: to find and capture the XDs that stumble through rips in spacetime, before their foreign atoms cause problems. It’s always seemed straightforward: these creatures threaten the integrity of their universe, and they’re probably what killed her brother.
But when Natalie is finally let in on the Bouvard family’s biggest secret, she realizes that there might be more to her brother’s disappearance than she was told. If she really wants answers, she’ll have to brave the Underground—the pocket dimension where all surviving XDs are kept—and find out for herself how exactly the family business works.
