Summary
In the aftermath of a nuclear war, survivors in North America forged a desperate existence. To shield themselves from lingering radiation, they constructed towering dome cities. Decades later, sixteen-year-old Asher Metaxus resides within the confines of New Niagara. Though expected to contribute to the workforce, this prospect proves challenging for him and his friends, Zenith and Cail. They instead find themselves forced to engage in 'scavenging,' an illicit practice involving the retrieval and sale of artifacts and information abandoned in the 'Between'-the perilous expanse between domes. The hazards of radioactivity may be the least of Asher's concerns. He faces the ever-present threat of detection by zoners, the relentless dome guards, who will parade his dead body for all to see if they can find him. But how can they find him when his most recent foray leads to a clandestine experimental lab? How can they find him when he's propelled into an alternate timeline, a twist of fate that will redefine his relationships, reshape his purpose, and possibly unravel his understanding of reality?
