THIS IS HOW THE GOD CYCLE BEGINS... AND ENDS. WITH DARYL, who wakes with no memory in a crumbling asylum where darkness strains against the mirrors reflecting a past he cannot face. WITH SUSAN, his therapist-whose quiet influence might be his only hope... or his undoing. WITH WERNER, a former physicist who speaks of patterns, infinite worlds, and things best left alone. AND WITH HUBBLE, an invisible gnome who appears when reality cracks-usually with his pet chicken. This is his reckoning-haunted by a small girl with terrible eyes, Daryl can no longer outrun the noose of a past that will choke the life from him even as it tears him apart. Either the world is broken, or he is. The truth may lie just beyond the glass.
