Synopsis[edit source]

Official[edit source]

<tabber> Amazon= Time doesn’t work the way you think it does.

Micah isn't used to gifts turning up at his apartment, especially not time-warping Axes. After a temporal twist leaves him blood-bathed and fleeing, the seasoned hacker must rewire his skills, decode the mystical weapon, and keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

A string of killings in the woods of nineteenth-century western Canada sends Mehall on a demon hunt. But strange visions from a future she cannot comprehend soon leave the tomahawk-wielding nomad hounding for more than just man-eating demons.

The Circle's sinister agenda to conquer the universe doesn't bother Miko's simplistic lifestyle—until a botched delivery lands the thirty-first-century data broker in a tight squeeze where the oppressive organization's business becomes her business.

But what do a modern-day hacker, a nineteenth-century huntress, and a thirty-first-century data broker have in common? Nothing...

Except for The Axe.

And The Infection that wants them dead.

Goodreads= Time doesn’t work the way you think it does.

2018 After a successful social justice hack and a sexy night of celebrating, Micah arrives home to a gift left outside his apartment door. An Axe, that when touched causes Micah to lose time and allow other people to use his body. After one of such events, Micah returns to his body, blood covered and holding The Axe, with police knocking on the door. Micah has to use his hacker skills to evade the police and a corporation hell bent on controlling The Axe, all while unraveling the secrets of the gift.

1810 In the woods of western Canada, something is stalking and devouring people. Entire settlements have been abandoned, the residents missing. The people refer to the monsters as Demons. Mehall, a demon-hunting nomad, has returned home, leaving a trail of dead Demons behind her. By her hands and her Tomahawk, she continues killing the creatures even as she begins having visions from the future.

3015 The Circle, an oppressive governing religion, is trying to insight an AI genocide while also releasing a plague on the universe to control its people. Life is as normal as it can be for Miko, a social outcast and data broker. While on a routine data delivery gone bad, Miko is chased to the galaxies edge, where she is confronted by a mysterious ship that leads Miko on a mission to stop The Circle itself.

All three lives are more interconnected than they know.

One thing wants them all dead. The Infection

One thing binds them all together. The Axe </tabber>
