You can never predict...Abby Shore never intended to be the savior of the world; it was just something that happened--like her father's tragic death and the fact that she's now poor and "flipping" houses in the chicago suburbs to finish college. And there's more: behind a crumbling wall in her current renovation, a swirling vortex hides. It's a gate, a portal--and it will not only cast her into the arms and power of the enigmatic yet doomed Dr. Shane Maddox, but also into the clutches of Lucinda, the eerie, leather-clad beauty who shadowed his every move in the Sacred Heart ER. Abbey will soon be one hundred years int the future, in a dying land filled with roving bands of humans fighting for survival, and he "ticks" against whom they fight. Oh yes, Abbey's live has had a Twist.
