The Vibe

Years after Shorefall, the war for reality has gone global. Sancia leads the resistance against a being that can rewrite the laws of physics. Bennett concludes his trilogy with the scope of a space opera and the heart of a love story — between a woman and a sentient key, between humans and the reality they inhabit.
