Michael Zmuda

Six months after his brother’s death was officially ruled an accident, architect Max Ogden knows the truth is a lie. He feels it in the echoes of the past that now cling to every object he touches—a terrifying psychic gift he never wanted. When a routine meeting forces him to touch the smart-glass of a new skyscraper, he’s plunged into a vision of a brutal murder, witnessing the last moments of a man killed by the city’s most powerful and charismatic CEO, Nicholas Nolan. 
Thrust into a hidden world of secret government agencies and individuals with impossible powers, Max is conscripted by a cynical operative who sees him not as a man, but as a skeleton key. Teamed with a powerful but reluctant telekinetic, Max must unravel a conspiracy that stretches back millennia. OmniGen Dynamics isn’t just a corporation; it’s an ancient apocalyptic cult poised to activate the Resonance Spire, a machine built to tear down the wall between our world and a silent, horrifying dimension. 
As they race to stop the end of the world, they are caught in the crossfire of a third, terrifying power: a grief-stricken man with the ability to command fire, who has declared his own personal war on OmniGen. In a three-way battle for the soul of London, Max must learn to control the ghosts in the machine before a 4,000-year-old prayer is answered, and reality itself is unwritten forever.
