What’s the difference between the monsters you fight against and the monsters you fight for?What do the multiverse and teenage super soldiers have in common?Nothing.And that’s Ryn Whittaker’s problem.Ryn is a Citadel, specially chosen and trained to guard a Rift – one of fourteen unpredictable tears in the fabric of the universe that serve as doorways to alternate Earths – and she’s one of the Allied Rift Coalition’s best, until the day eighteen-year-old Ezra Massad comes tumbling out of The Rift and everything changes.Despite her training, and the fact that any romantic entanglements are doomed by her violent, cybernetically-altered hormones, Ryn can’t keep away from Ezra, and what starts as a physical attraction quickly grows deeper. Ezra’s curiosity about The Rifts, the mysterious organization that oversees them, and the Citadels themselves echoes Ryn’s own growing doubts and unasked questions.But can she fall in love, uncover the truth, and protect her friends and family? After all, she already knows that secrets have a price…and not keeping hers may cost Ryn more than she’s ready to lose.

About the Publisher

'məltēˌvərs/

noun

an infinite realm of being or potential being of which the universe is regarded as a part or instance.

2005	A highly classified experiment in Livermore, California, attempting to understand the properties of dark matter results in a doorway to the Multiverse that scientists name The Rift. Within hours, thirteen more Rifts open, each one getting sequentially smaller as they move east around the world in Battle Ground, Washington; Brazil; France; Algeria; Zimbabwe; Poland; Saudi Arabia; Russia; Siberia; Myanmar; China; Australia; and New Zealand. The Rifts are portals not to other planets, but to an infinite number of other Earths.
2005	Out of fear that the Rifts would cause mass hysteria, a global effort is launched to keep them a secret. World leaders meet and form ARC: the Allied Rift Coalition.
2005	ARC is tested almost immediately when all manner of dangerous creatures spill out of the Rifts. These creatures are a panacea of evolutionary biology, as humanity learns that Homo sapiens are only one of many sentient beings that could have evolved on Earth.
2005	One month after the Rifts open, seventy-three Roones enter Earth. The Roones are a highly evolved humanoid species that promises to help ARC deal with the Rifts.
2006	With technology developed by the Roones, human trials begin with military troops. Soldiers are implanted with a chip intended to make them exponentially stronger, smarter, faster, and more agile. The test subjects are unable to handle the metamorphosis the brain must undergo to allow for these new “super” abilities. Each subject dies.
2006	ARC theorizes that by changing the microprocessor in the implant and delaying the time the chip takes to activate by seven years, a child’s young biology can better accept and adapt to the massive changes their bodies would undergo. ARC agrees to let the Roones implant children with the chip.
2006	Seven-year-olds within a two-hundred-mile radius of each Rift site are tested in school. ARC chooses one hundred with the most average test scores. They do not want to take a potentially bright future away from a gifted child and they want their “super” soldiers to appear as unremarkable as possible.
2006	Without these children’s parents’ consent, the first crop of one hundred children is implanted with the chip.
2007	The first Village is created outside the Battle Ground Rift. This is where ARC takes all Immigrants (anyone or anything that Rifts to this Earth from another) to be held in captivity, away from the general population.
2007	A second crop of children is implanted.
2008	Militaries from around the world continue to deal with the hostile Immigrants exiting the Rifts; there are numerous casualties on both sides.
2008	Construction begins on six more global Village sites.
2008	A third crop of children is implanted with the chip.
2009	Levi Branach and a fourth crop of children are implanted with the chip.
2010	Henry Gibbon, Violet Henshaw, Boone Castor, and Ryn Whittaker are all implanted and join a fifth crop of children.
2011	A sixth crop is implanted.
2012	A seventh crop is implanted.
2012	ARC creates an elaborate subterfuge to relocate the families of the implanted children. ARC tells the parents of these children that its acronym stands for Accelerated Rate Curriculum. It is staged as the most prestigious program in the world for gifted students. It guarantees a bright and successful future. Parents believe their kids will attend a highly competitive high school program when in reality they will be policing The Rift.
2013	The first crop of implanted children is activated. ARC calls these new soldiers Citadels.
2013	The Karekins immigrate to this Earth. They are a deadly and highly advanced humanoid race. Their attacks become increasingly brutal and frequent.
2013	An eighth crop of children is implanted.
2014	A ninth crop of children is implanted.
2015	A tenth crop of children is implanted.
2016	An eleventh crop of children is implanted.
2016	Levi Branach is activated and becomes a Citadel.
2017	A twelfth crop of children is implanted.
2017	Henry, Violet, Boone, and Ryn become active Citadels.
2018	A thirteenth crop of children is implanted.
2019	A fourteenth crop of children is implanted.
2020	Present day.
2020	Ryn’s parents believe she is a junior in high school and a fifteenth crop of children has just been implanted …
