Esme Good is an unremarkable young woman working a dull job in a city much like the one you're picturing now.

Her only escape is The Elsewheres: tiny potions which allow her to visit alternate versions of herself. Sadly, these only confirm her suspicion that she is, in a cosmic sense, living her worst life.

But, after an incident we simply don't have time to get into right now, she will become the most important person in this - or perhaps any - universe.

As you can imagine, this is a lot of pressure. And she's not going to handle it well.

Esme has never been a main character. Now, a lot of things are about to happen to her: in fact, everything, and so much.
