Sixteen-year-old Brycen has always understood patterns better than people.
After his grandfather’s death, Brycen inherits a plain cardboard box filled with mismatched puzzle pieces that should not fit together. Some belong to entirely different puzzles. Others seem impossible. Yet beneath the chaos, Brycen senses something no one else can see: a hidden design waiting to be completed.
While Brycen isolates himself deeper inside the growing maze of pieces, his mother, a CDC virologist, becomes entangled in a terrifying global crisis. Pregnancies are collapsing worldwide. Human reproduction itself is failing. And buried inside blood samples are traces of an unknown mammalian genome, unlike anything ever discovered.
As governments scramble for answers and society edges toward panic, Brycen begins to realize the puzzle is more than cardboard and ink. It is a message. A map. Perhaps even a warning left behind long before the world began to unravel.
And it just may be:
The future of humanity depends on someone the world never expected to understand it.
The haunting lore of The Mojave Desert Phone Booth, a mysterious woman appearing in a puzzle, a Bullwinkle Moose glass, and an aged manuscript found under the debris of a fallen ruin, all come together from the imaginations of three authors.
