Interlude

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

“I dreamt of a place, Where infinite yieldeth unto sand, Creation falleth from the void, Crystal flowers on the grave, Where nature was interred.

And I saw the gods as they rose From ruin, blood, and betrayal, Their eyes set upon monuments of steel.

They came from the void, And to the void they shall return, With the pride of mortals burned.

And so, I dreamt of home.”

Ten years ago, the stars fell on the lost city of New Babylon.

Molly and Ethan Sparrow barely escaped that night, saved by their aunt who drove them through mists until the road led somewhere else entirely—to another world, to Earth.

Now, nine years later in New York, Molly can't forget the voice that spoke to her from the dark sea on the night their city burned. Something ancient watched her with crimson eyes from the depths of her dreams. At seventeen, the voice is calling again: the tide is rising.

Ethan buried himself in normalcy-he's a journalist now, raising his sister alone since their aunt vanished. But he can't shake the memories of a city that supposedly never existed. An impossible metropolis rising from endless shores. No maps show it. No records remain. No one believes.

But New Babylon endured.

And now something is hunting them: A corporation with divine ambitions, mysterious cults, and forces that see them as vessels for powers they don't understand.

Powers who call them back home, to the edge of existence.

To awaken once more.
