Riftline

The signal wasn’t meant to be heard. When Mara Vance begins detecting strange interference patterns buried inside ordinary data streams, she assumes it’s a glitch — a statistical anomaly no one else seems to notice. But the deeper she looks, the clearer it becomes: something is pushing through the fabric of reality itself. As unexplained events ripple outward — subtle at first, then impossible to ignore — Mara is pulled into a hidden layer of existence where sound, thought, and space behave differently. The closer she gets to the truth, the more the world around her begins to fracture. What she uncovers isn’t just a phenomenon. It’s a boundary. Between control and chaos. Between human choice and invisible systems. Between the world as it is — and the world as it’s about to become. With forces moving quietly in the background and no clear line between ally and threat, Mara must decide how far she’s willing to go to stop something humanity was never prepared to face. Because once the rift opens… Reality doesn’t close the same way again.
