A family vanishes without a trace. One mother will defy the laws of space and time to bring them back.
From USA TODAY bestselling author Maureen A. Miller comes an emotional sci-fi mystery about loss, hope, and a mother’s unbreakable love.
Six years ago, Marda lost her husband and daughters to a portal linking Earth to her planet. It was supposed to be safe—just an ancient corridor between two worlds. But sometimes, people get trapped inside it.
Marda calls that place the BETWEEN.
Now, the portal is acting up again. People are vanishing from Central Park, right in the heart of one of Earth’s busiest cities.
Ben—a Wall Street analyst too consumed with his job to notice the damage he leaves behind.
Lily—a would-be musician suffocating inside her childhood home.
Tony—a young man who gave up everything to care for his dying mother.
Their destinies collide in the BETWEEN—a place where time twists, and nothing is stable.
But this time, Marda won’t come back without her family.
EXCERPT:
Two people.
Two Earthlings.
Tony and Lily—they went into the BETWEEN, and they survived—they escaped it!
As miraculous as that was, as promising as that was, nothing motivated Marda like their final revelation.
They heard voices.
Fragments of words.
Until one word came through. No!
Was it a coincidence that it was the same word she was shouting? No! No! No! The monitors had a direct audio link to the Stellar Bridge entrance, amplifying her voice into the rift.
Did they hear her?
How many times had she cried out to her husband and daughters? How many times had she called to them, standing at the open Stellar Bridge just before throwing herself through? Had they ever heard her?
Marda stepped up to the closest monitor and bent over, her eyes roving over the patch of land that had just ejected two humans.
‘Torz,’ she called. ‘Torz, can you hear me?’
Silence.
‘Reena? Sorna? If you’re out there, please know I’m coming for you. Every day of my life, I will always search for you.
‘I love you.’
