It all started on New Year's Eve, 2019. Despite being hearing impaired, Lauren Carnes was determined to go to Stefanie Anders' party and celebrate the holiday like everyone else. But instead, she and four others got blasted through a portal into another dimension. They ended up with strange triangular marks branded on their forearms.Worse yet, the whole thing happened again ten days later. Instead of a creepy landscape built by her new friend Mari's dreams and nightmares, they fought to survive in a world built by Tony Rodriguez. In both of these alternate realities, ruthless black-cloaked Shifters tried to capture and exploit them as Mainworlders.The third time is not a charm. Because on this journey, it's Lauren's fascinating-and dangerously silent-landscape everyone is stuck in.
