One choice. Two lives. A reflection that wants out. ​Ten years ago, Elias Thorne had a choice: follow his dream of professional football or take the "safe" path. He chose the cubicle. Now, at twenty-nine, his life is a gray blur of insurance claims, stale coffee, and the quiet rot of regret. ​But Elias has a secret. In a shadowed corner of the dark web, he bought the Echo-Link-a piece of forbidden technology that allows him to "view" the life he didn't choose. ​Through the Link, Elias isn't a failing claims adjuster; he is Apex Elias, a superstar athlete living in a world of golden light, fame, and the woman he let walk away. He is addicted to his own potential. He is a ghost haunting his own success. ​But the Echo is breaking. ​During a championship game, the "Apex" version of Elias does something impossible. He stops mid-play. He turns away from the cheering crowds. And he looks directly into the camera-directly into the eyes of the man sitting in the dark, ten years away. ​He doesn't just look. He begs. ​"They found the bridge, Elias. Run." ​Now, Elias must discover the terrifying truth behind the technology he's been using to escape. Because the "perfect life" he's been watching isn't a simulation. It's a cage. And something is using the Link to crawl from that world... into his. ​How much of your soul would you trade to live your greatest "What If"?

They will claim to be her salvation as they take her through hell. Left in the care of her brothers, Isabella starts to realize this as the truth begins to crack the surface of all that she has left and she realizes there is no escape. • • • A thriller/mystery based book about family.
