Time isn't a river-it's a pane of glass already shattered. We live in the slivers, convinced our shard is the only one, while cracks spread all around us.
Dr. Heather Ashcroft knows those cracks better than anyone. Seven years ago, a rain-slick highway took her husband and daughter from her. That moment became the fixed point of her life-a wound she can't heal, the reason she's devoted herself to tracking the invisible decay that's slowly tearing the multiverse apart.
But when her experiments detect a catastrophic temporal scar bearing her own biometric signature, Heather is forced to confront an impossible truth: the fracture wasn't an accident of nature. It was made by her... or rather, by a version of her from an alternate reality. A version without grief. Without guilt. And she's coming to fix Heather's life by erasing it.
Hunted by the relentless Chronal Authority and an enemy who wears her face, Heather forms an uneasy alliance with Julian Reed-a cynical ex-agent haunted by loss-and Asha Virell, a disillusioned enforcer whose loyalty to the cause is collapsing. Together, they're pulled through dying worlds in a multiverse thriller of shifting loyalties, high-stakes betrayals, and paradox time loops that defy the laws of reality.
From desperate rooftop chases to tense negotiations in dystopian sci-fi enclaves infected by temporal decay, Heather must navigate fractured timelines, confront haunting variants of herself, and face the terrifying cost of rewriting the past.
Every choice creates a ghost. And if she fails, those ghosts will be all that's left.
Perfect for fans of time travel science fiction, Blake Crouch, and Alastair Reynolds, Shattered Continuum blends relentless action, hard science fiction concepts, and deeply human emotion into an alternate realities novel where the greatest battle is between the life you had... and the one you'll do anything to get back.
