Dissonance
Author: Erica O'Rourke
Expected Release Date: August 2014
Publisher: Simon & Schuster BYR
Description:
Delancy Sullivan has
always known there's more to reality than what people see. Every time
someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world branches off from the
existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of
right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed ~ all of these choices
create an alternate universe in which an echo self takes the road not
travelled and makes the opposite decision. As a Walker, someone who can
navigate between these worlds, Del's job is to keep all of the
dimensions in harmony. Normally, Del can hear the dissonant frequency
that each world emits as clear as a bell. But when a training session in
an off-key world goes horribly wrong, she is forbidden from Walking by
the Council. But Del's not big on following the rules and she secretly
starts to investigate these other worlds. Something strange connecting
them and it's not just her random encounters with echo versions of the
guy she likes, Simon Lane. But Del's decisions have unimaginable
consequences and, as she begins to fall for the Echo Simons in each
world, she draws closer to a truth that the Council of Walkers is trying
to hide ~ a secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse.
