Ignacio only wants a normal life for his younger sister, Celeste. But when she convulses and speaks visions of dragons and temples, he realizes she has slipped into the Ethergeist—a forbidden otherworld accessible only through Cypher machines. No one is supposed to enter unaided. No one is supposed to survive inside for long without losing pieces of their memory… or their life.

Celeste is different. She can breach the Ethergeist naturally, making her the “First Nexus”—a living key to a realm the government and Cypher Corp will kill to control. Determined to protect her, Ignacio allies with Specterveil, a rogue Psyonic Crew who dare to challenge both Corp and Ether. But to save Celeste, he must risk everything: his freedom, his sanity, and the memories that make him who he is.
