Cendan Key's life runs on systems, patterns, and predictable routines.
Then a creature made of teeth and shadow tears through his kitchen wall.
It's not from his world. It's from an Echo-a parallel reality bleeding into ours through weakening portals. And Cendan can see them. The bridges between worlds. The cracks where nightmares slip through.
He's a Bridgefinder. One of the last.
The Bridgefinder Order has been fighting for centuries to keep the Echoes sealed, but their numbers are dwindling and the portals are failing. On the other side, the Slyph-an ancient entity commanding legions of feral horrors-is sending its army through every crack it can find. The invasions are escalating. People are dying. And Cendan's ability to locate and seal the bridges makes him the Order's best chance at stopping the flood.
It also makes him a target.
A goblin-hybrid hunter from the Echoes wants Cendan's key focus-the enchanted artifact that channels his power-and won't stop until it's ripped from his corpse. The Order is fracturing from within, torn by betrayal and dark pacts Cendan doesn't fully understand. And the more bridges he closes, the more he realizes the Slyph isn't just invading.
It's been invited.
Cendan spent his life avoiding chaos. Now he's standing at the center of it, holding the only power that can seal the worlds apart-or shatter them completely.
Some doors should never be opened. Some bridges should never be crossed.
Perfect for readers who love hidden magical societies, multiversal threats, and ordinary people thrust into extraordinary wars-urban fantasy where the monsters are real and the portals are everywhere.
