Is she doomed to repeat the same betrayal?Īs Marguerite races through these wildly different lives - a grand duchess in a Tsarist Russia, a club-hopping orphan in a futuristic London, a refugee from worldwide flooding on a station in the heart of the ocean - she is swept into an epic love affair as dangerous as it is irresistible.

With the help of another physics student, Theo, Marguerite chases Paul through various dimensions. She doesn't know if she can kill a man, but she's going to find out. Before the law can touch him, Paul escapes into another dimension, having committed what seems like the perfect crime.
