Many-Worlds Series
Tandem (Book 1)
“A fascinating world of parallel universes, sexy doppelgangers, and breathtaking action. Such a fun and addictive read!”
—Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of Legend
“Clever and exhilarating—each page is a pleasure.”
—Ally Condie, New York Times bestselling author of Matched
A captivating tale of rebellion and romance that spans parallel worlds.
Everything repeats.
You. Your best friend. Every person you know.
Many worlds, many lives—infinite possibilities.
Welcome to the multiverse.
Sixteen-year-old Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life. When she was young, she loved her grandfather's stories of parallel worlds, inhabited by girls who looked like her but led totally different lives. Sasha never believed such worlds were real—until now, when she finds herself thrust into one against her will.
To prevent imminent war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself, a princess who has vanished on the eve of her arranged marriage. If Sasha succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails, she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out, Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young men vying for her love—one who knows her secret, and one who believes she's someone she's not.
Tether (Book 2)
Tether, the sequel to Tandem, continues the captivating tale of rebellion and romance that spans parallel worlds.
Everything repeats.
Sasha expected things to go back to normal once she got back on Earth. But now that she knows parallel worlds are real, and that an alternate version of herself exists in a world called Aurora, her old life no longer seems to make sense . . . and her heart breaks daily for Thomas, the boy she left behind. Troubled by mysterious, often terrifying visions and the echoes of a self she was just beginning to discover, Sasha makes the difficult decision to journey once more through the tandem.
Thomas is waiting for her on the other side, and so is strange, otherworldly Selene, Sasha’s analog from a third universe. Sasha, Selene, and their other analog, Juliana, have a joint destiny, and a new remarkable power, one that could mean salvation for Selene’s dying planet. With Thomas’s help, Sasha and Selene search for the missing Juliana. But even if they can locate her, is Sasha willing to turn her back on love to pursue a fate she’s not sure she believes in?
Book 3
At this point in my writing career, the question I get more than any other—in my inbox, in my DMs, in person—is “What’s going on with Many-Worlds Book 3?” Even though Tether came out five years ago, I still get this question at a frequency that astounds me, if for no other reason than that the third book I had planned to write was cancelled by my publisher because the first and second books did not sell particularly well and were—presumably—not being read enough to justify a third. So, if you’re here because you liked the first two books and want to know what happens to Sasha, Thomas, Callum, Juliana, and the rest of the Many-Worlds cast, please know that I’m enormously grateful for your support and for your appreciation of these stories. I’m so sorry that, right now, there’s not a third book for you to read, and that the answers you seek are not readily available to you.
That said, I never intended to end the series at Book 2—that would make me a really awful writer, since Tether ends on a cliffhanger. If I had known that the third book would not be released, I would’ve written Tether differently, and given the series an adequate conclusion at the end of that book. But I didn’t know, so I wrote it the way I wanted to write it, and here we are. I’m not going to tell you that I’m currently working on Book 3. That wouldn’t be true. But I can tell you that I started Book 3 years ago, that I had a pretty fleshed out plan for it, and that I would like to finish out the series one day.
For a variety of reasons, writing Tether was pretty difficult, and I struggle with a lack of confidence and desire to return to a series that, in the end, did not make me feel very good. However, I’m a reader first and foremost, and as such I would be pretty livid with an author who wrote a series I enjoyed and then didn’t finish it. So, I want you to know that I intend to someday finish the Many-Worlds series (I’ve even got a few short stories in the series kicking about on my computer), and I hope that, if you liked the first two books, you will enjoy the third when I’m finally able to somehow release it. As a sign of good faith in this endeavor, I will even tell you the title.
It will be called Terminus.
