The lives of two strangers intertwine in the culmination of a decades old mystery. “So many years have been spent grasping for apparitions, only to be left with empty hands. Yet it is here, now, in that emptiness, that we find truth.” Sasha Niks has been searching for twenty-five years. His mother is a box of unanswered letters beneath his bed. His father a phantom. He pursues god in the bottom of a beaker. And he will stop at nothing to find the truth, within or without the bloodstream. Kinzer Hedburg’s mother is dying and there is nothing he can do about it. That is until he strikes a deal with the Triads. But when he says he is willing to give anything to save her, does that include his life ? Convergence. Two planets on a collision course. Destruction; of everything that came before. Everything turned to dust. But in the stillness that followed? Something new. A single flower sprouting from the ashes.
