À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Like walking down a hall of mirrors . . . Lightbreakers made me see things anew' - Ling Ma, author of Severance

Maya, an artist, and Noah, a quantum physicist, are married - and happily so. But their wedded bliss has a shadow: Serena, the lost child Noah had with his first wife.

Out of the blue, Noah gets a call from an eccentric billionaire with a job proposal: a clandestine project to unravel the secrets of time and consciousness. The couple moves to the Janus Lab, deep in the Texas desert, where Noah begins participating in an experiment that could result in the impossible: seeing his daughter again.

But the Janus Lab is not what it seems, drawing Noah and Maya into its dangerous web. As they confront what lurks in their pasts, they must try to find their way back to each other in a world where time is both a healer and a thief.
