The Rift Exodus - Matthew Petchinsky

Briar Hollow, Texas was never meant to be important.

But when the sky begins to fracture and highways fold into impossible depths, the town becomes ground zero for a reality that no longer follows the rules of physics-or sanity. As mass evacuations sweep across the country, something far worse than collapse is unfolding. The world is not ending. It is being rewritten.

Rowan and Maeve stand at the center of it all, anchored to the Briar Hollow Museum of the Unseen-a place that no longer simply contains the strange, but actively negotiates with it. As a vast, unseen force known only as the Harvester spreads across cities, roads, and minds, people begin to change... or disappear entirely.

Some flee.

Some deny.

Some become something else.

When possession becomes precise and reality itself begins to bend, Rowan is forced to make an irreversible choice that will alter who-and what-he is forever. Maeve must build a network strong enough to survive a world that no longer stays still.

The Rift Exodus is a brutal, psychological descent into cosmic horror, where love, identity, and reality are pushed beyond their limits-and survival may mean becoming unrecognizable.
