In this final chapter of the Threefold Cord Series, the past returns once again to haunt Matthew and his family as they try to get on with their daily lives. Matthew, his girlfriend Melissa, along with several other young people, have found sanctuary within loving adoptive families after fleeing from a vile religious cult. But two recent cult refugees are horrified to learn that the cult has intentions to reclaim both of them by whatever means. Out of an irrational fear of being spirited away, they search the house for a secure hiding place, and in the process, they unwittingly uncover a dark secret about the house that they now call home. After a hidden chamber in the family home is discovered, Matthew and other family members are haunted by strange sounds, visions, and cryptic messages. Melissa receives a mystical warning about her "kinfolk" being in grave danger. But Melissa has no knowledge of having kinfolk as she had been forcibly taken from her biological mother at birth. Melissa doesn't know whether or not her real mother is still living, so does she indeed have kinfolk, and if so, where might they be found? The answer to that question comes without warning after Matthew and Melissa are catapulted several months back in time into an alternate reality that, timewise, is parallel to their own. Within this parallel passage through time, Matthew begins to have intimations that their lives, as well as the lives of many others, are in jeopardy. In response, he takes on a leadership role to forestall what he is convinced will be, a disastrous outcome. Desperate actions taken within this inexplicable alternate reality will impact the real world in dramatic ways.
