Resonance

How do you save the world when you can't save yourself? Angry, young, and punk, Resonance Murphy cares little for anyone but herself. With no ambition and no prospects, she moves with her mother to the small Maryland town of Tyne after the sudden death of her father. Facing a boring town, a dismal social scene, and an ultimatum to finally grow up and do something with her life, Resonance is certain her life couldn't get any worse. Then she learns the fate of all humanity rests on her shoulders. Thousands of years ago an ancient god was driven into a collapsing dimension. That god is about to re-emerge in Tyne and Resonance is the warrior fated to destroy him. With a murderous dark magician; an ancient cult; a desperate fallen goddess; and a mysterious, tattooed young woman each intent on thwarting her by any means, Resonance must put aside her inhibitions and finally place her trust in someone besides herself. Fearful of the coming days and fascinated by the mercurial newcomer, necromancer Quinn Lehrer aligns himself with Resonance. As Quinn helps the reluctant warrior run the gantlet of reality-bending trials that will give her the power to defeat Ta-gul, a series of terrible revelations will force him to decide if Resonance is truly worth aiding. As the clock ticks down to the god's ascension, the unlikely couple find themselves in a labyrinth of choice and consequence, where each decision sheds new light on Resonance's long-forgotten past, and brings her closer to the moment when she will become either the savior of humanity—or the catalyst for its downfall.
