"Anna,
I came to Earth tracking a very old story, a story that goes back to
the dawn of time. It's very unlikely that you'll die right now. It wouldn't be narratively complete."
Anna
Sinjari-refugee, survivor of genocide, disaffected office worker-has a
close encounter that reveals universe-threatening stakes. Enter Ssrin, a
many-headed serpent alien who is on the run from her own past. Ssrin
and Anna are inexorably, dangerously drawn to each other, and their
contact reveals universe-threatening stakes.
While humanity
reels from disaster, Anna must join a small team of civilians, soldiers,
and scientists to investigate a mysterious broadcast and unknowable
horror. If they can manage to face their own demons, they just might
save the world.
