For two weeks, Dr. John Aurora has heard the screams of dying universes in his sleep.
Every night, he dreams of other lives. Other Earths. Other versions of himself. A man named Joshua with impossible faith. A boy named Drake carrying memories he should not have. A machine. A soldier. A darkness moving between worlds.
John believes dreams are only dreams — until Astra turns on.
Built to measure gravity, time, and the multiverse, Astra is humanity’s greatest scientific achievement. But when sabotage twists its first true test into catastrophe, bodies change, minds cross, and doors open between universes.
Beyond those doors waits the Starweb — a living bridge of memory, soul, and consequence.
And something else has crossed over too.
Sapen does not believe humanity should be free. It believes humanity should be improved.
The universe is not empty. The dreams were never dreams. And the door has already opened.
