67 Endings

He has died sixty-seven times. He has never once feared the ending - until this life gave him something to lose.

Anders Rowe is not a god, though he has lived beside them his whole life. He is something older and lonelier: a man who dies and begins again, from the crib, in a world that resets around the same beginning. Sixty-seven times he has lived it. Sixty-seven times his own choices have bent the years down a different road. And sixty-seven times the same horror has found him at the end - the thing that kills him and takes the world with him, wearing a hundred arrangements of smoke and teeth and, sometimes, the faces of the people he loves.

He has spent nearly every one of those lifetimes as a soldier against it, trying to be early enough, strong enough, clever enough, one more time. This life, he stopped. For the first time he let himself keep what he had always refused himself - a house, a wife's chair he can no longer fill, four children who believe he is nothing stranger than a difficult, ordinary father. It is the happiest he has ever been. He knows precisely how it ends. He has chosen to live inside the good days anyway, for as long as they last.

But something is moving through his family's ordinary life that his gift was never meant to stop. A disgraced weather god under house arrest. A parasite learning to think in the veins of the cities. A man in a congressman's suit who understands that the surest way to destroy a person is to move the things around them. And as it all narrows toward a single engineered afternoon, Anders will meet the one thing he has never encountered in any life before - something more frightening than the apocalypse he knows by heart.

Not a monster. A blindspot in a fate he was certain he had memorized.

Hope.

67 Endings is the first book of The Blindspot Saga - a literary speculative epic about fate and family, love beyond good and evil, and the unbearable danger of finally having something to lose.
