In the first book of the Parallel Unbound series, Lyla, her aunt Keitha and her mother Kaitlyn feel the impact of a world where the Health of the Nation controls every element of people's lives.
I need... a participant.Everything changes when Lyla reluctantly agrees to participate in a disappearing act at a magic show. She is catapulted through a portal to... somewhere else. Society is irrevocably transformed. Individuals are no longer in control of their own lives. Their homes, their jobs, even their partners, are all decided for them. The Health of the Nation is in charge. But how did we even get to this point?
As Lyla desperately tries to make sense of this changed society, Keitha grapples with her niece's disappearance. All the while, a murderous assailant determined to hide the truth is closing in... Will Keitha reach Lyla in time? What role did Kaitlyn play in the creation of the Health of the Nation? How will the secrets waiting for Lyla unravel the life she remembers?
