Book 1, Chapter 13 - The Echoing Thread

Chapter Thirteen — The Echoing Thread

Ava remembers something that never happened to her.

A voice from another life knows the Doctor.

Worse, it knows him through her.

Following the anomaly leads them toward an archive where memories have become entangled with damaged temporal threads. Past identities bleed across boundaries, and Ava finds herself speaking words she has never learned in the voice of someone she has never met.

The Doctor has spent centuries carrying impossible memories.

Now Ava understands what that feels like.

But these echoes are not random.

Something is connecting people across histories.

And somewhere inside those borrowed memories lies a clue to what is coming.
