A million dangers. One destiny.<\/i><br \/>\nThe fate of the multiverse rests in Marguerite Caine\u2019s hands. Marguerite has been at the center of a cross-dimensional feud since she first traveled to another universe using her parents\u2019 invention, the Firebird. Only now has she learned the true plans of the evil Triad Corporation\u2014and that those plans could spell doom for dozens or hundreds of universes, each facing total annihilation.<br \/>\nPaul Markov has always been at Marguerite\u2019s side, but Triad\u2019s last attack has left him a changed man\u2014angry and shadowed by tragedy. He struggles to overcome the damage done to him, but despite Marguerite\u2019s efforts to help, Paul may never be the same again.<br \/>\nSo it\u2019s up to Marguerite alone to stop the destruction of the multiverse. Billions of lives are at stake. The risks have never been higher. And Triad has unleashed its ultimate weapon: another dimension\u2019s Marguerite\u2014wicked, psychologically twisted, and always one step ahead.<br \/>\nIn the conclusion to Claudia Gray\u2019s Firebird trilogy, fate and family will be questioned, loves will be won and lost, and the multiverse will be forever changed. It\u2019s a battle of the Marguerites\u2026and only one can win.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-03-19T04:00:34+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Friday!
