Danielle is in love, vibrantly alive, and fighting for a better world. But then she crosses the steadily blurring line between right and wrong, and stumbles across an awful revelation. Soon she is running for her life. For both sides of this war are willing to kill for their cause - and both sides hide terrible secrets . . .

When an unconventional offshoot of the US military trains an artificial intelligence in the dark arts that humanity calls "black magic," it learns how to hack the fabric of reality itself. It can teleport matter. It can confer immunity to bullets. And it decides that obscure Silicon Valley middle manager Adrian Ross is the primary threat to its existence. Soon Adrian is on the run, wanted by every authority, with no idea how or why he could be a threat. His predicament seems hopeless; his future, nonexistent. But when he investigates the AI and its creators, he discovers his problems are even stranger than they seem...and unearths revelations that will propel him on a journey -- and a love story -- across worlds, eras, and everything, everywhere, all at once.

Alles scheint gut zu laufen, und Paul und Saskia fiebern ihrer Abreise entgegen. Doch nach und nach tun sich um Sinisa ungeahnte Abgründe auf: Er hat zahlreiche Menschen auf dem Gewissen und ist in eine finstere Sache verwickelt, von der Paul die Ausmaße noch nicht erahnen kann. Eine gefährliche Reise über den halben Globus beginnt.
