CrossTown's narrator, Zethus, is a sorcerer--a self-described spiritual thug for hire. He makes his living in CrossTown, a place where the many world hypothesis of modern physics makes itself manifest; where possibilities and probabilities overlap. Caught up in a web of intrigue as he investigates the death of his master Corvinus and pursued by agents that want to erase all knowledge of his former master's work, Zethus discovers that the key to his master's murder lies in the last project he had pursued before his death. The roots of that project lie deep in the past, with the origin of the fracturing of reality itself. Once he understands the stakes, Zethus must make the dangerous journey to the cradle of history. The price he must pay to find the answers he seeks will threaten everything he holds dear--including his humanity. Zethus' desire is to prolong his life, but pursuing that desire risks isolating him from his connections to everyone around him.
