Staff Sergeant Grace Woods has had enough of pain. Her assignment as a cryptographer at an underground black site lets her focus on her precision work. She's in control, shielded from past loss of everyone she loved. But she can't control the sun. Massive solar flares create electromagnetic pulses, killing electricity on Earth and throwing Grace into a duplicate plane, and duplicate command populated by Fae. Immersed in her new world, threads tying her to a malevolent Fae and her former world multiply, her life unravelling at the repeating pattern of death. Is it her fault? Fate has never been in her hands, or on her side. Grace must choose among those she loves, and millions who will die. Fate will not force her hand. She will.
