Having visions wasn't exactly one of the changes Vincent expected in college. Becoming his own person, making friends, falling in love--he imagined those. Time slowing, voices in his head, and glowing words suspended in mid-air weren’t on the list. They say he has to become possessed. If he doesn't allow it, evil creatures called Kafla will enter California through a tear in the Shroud of Reality. 

His visions feature Coleman, a warrior from the other side of the Shroud who’s spent his life battling the Kafla. Coleman realizes the only way he can protect his world is by inhabiting Vincent but that’s no easy task. He’ll have to find a way across the Shroud and trust this untried student with his spirit. It also means leaving the woman who recently saved his life and stole his heart.

For Vincent and Coleman, failure means death. The Shroud will tear, letting Kafla flood this world, while our modern society destroys the Realms. Only by working together can they protect the Shroud.
