Fracture of the Astral GateLyra is a relic runner, stealing from the ruins of the past to buy a future for her imprisoned brother. Her last heist goes catastrophically wrong when she steals the Fracture Key, an artifact that doesn't just unlock doors-it unravels reality itself. Branded the "Convergence Catalyst" by a terrified historian and hunted by assassins who phase through solid matter, Lyra discovers she is the focal point in a war between worlds. To save her brother, she must partner with a broken soldier haunted by his own ghostly arm and outrun a vengeful double of herself from a dead timeline. But the Key has a will of its own, and every use brings her closer to a terrifying vision: her own corpse at the base of the reality-shattering Astral Gate. She was hired to steal a key. Now, she must decide whether to use it to seal the Gate, break it open, or become the one thing that can hold all of reality together.
