Paradigm

Etta Fleming was never supposed to remain where she is. Four years ago she should have returned to her real world, but instead she has spent that time building a life in the alternate reality where she grew up as an orphan. She has a solid job, a boyfriend she trusts, and a close friend beside her, so she has little reason to look backward. Cooper Everett and his companions see things differently. They believe the shift in the timeline has not changed her fate, and that she is still meant to lead them in their fight against a bleak, post-apocalyptic future. As people from her past resurface, Etta must consider whether she belongs to something larger, and whether the separate worlds of her life can be kept apart.
