Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds in total. But trouble finds Cara when one of her 8 remaining doppelgängers dies under mysterious circumstances, plunging her into a new world with an old secret.
