Delaney Meyers-Petrov refuses to let anyone treat her as fragile because she's Deaf. She wins acceptance into Godbole University's elite program that teaches students to travel between parallel worlds. The semester starts badly when professors ignore her disability accommodations and an arrogant upperclassman named Colton Price takes interest in her unusual abilities. Colton died at age nine but impossibly returned to life weeks later. Now twelve years have passed and he's been warned to avoid Delaney, especially since she hears voices calling from dark places. Delaney finds Colton insufferable while everyone else falls for his charm. When a Godbole student dies under mysterious circumstances, she reluctantly partners with Colton to investigate. Their search uncovers dangerous university secrets and leads them into confrontation with an ancient, nameless enemy. Opening doors between worlds carries a terrible price, and Delaney and Colton must destroy this threat before it destroys them and their growing connection.
