What Lies Within: Book One, The Seam Chronicals
By P.Elizabeth Williams
Length8h 21m
About this audiobook
Dr. Elizabeth Henley believes Synapse will change the future—a revolutionary technology capable of creating experiences so vivid the mind accepts them as reality.
But Synapse has been built before.
Fifteen years earlier, the original experiment ended in death, erased memories, and the opening of a door that should never have existed.
Now Beth's dead mother is appearing inside the system, impossible memories are surfacing, and hidden beyond the simulations are doors leading to the Seam—an ancient boundary between worlds filled with breathtaking realms, terrifying creatures, and forces that have waited centuries to be found.
Soon, Beth and the others are no longer testing a machine. They're trapped somewhere thought becomes reality, fear can create monsters, and every doorway carries a price.
Because Synapse didn't create the Seam.
It only found it.
And something on the other side knows the way in.
