ABOUT THE BOOK ///
The long-awaited sequel that weaves five lives into one invisible thread, binding them across borders and worlds.
Some families we choose, some battles we can't avoid, some lines we must cross together.
A bomb at the airport.
A mysterious disappearance.
A family pushing boundaries.
Three years after finding refuge in near-future Montreal, Laek and Janie prepare to expand their unconventional family. But when their friend Philip's arrival coincides with an explosion at the airport, their sanctuary begins to crack.
Struggling with PTSD, Laek must forge an alliance with someone he doesn't trust as street kids start vanishing from his school. Meanwhile, Janie dreams of building a larger family through a polyamorous union, even as dangers mount around them.
Their community of queer, poly, and neurodivergent activists fights for justice in a city that's both haven and battleground. But when protecting others means risking everything they've built, how much are they willing to sacrifice?
In a world of invisible lines, which ones are worth crossing?
Sunburst Award-nominated Su J Sokol crafts hopepunk science fiction where hope isn't just resistance—it's revolution.
