Description
14-year-old Jax finds an old pager that allows him to "rewind" time by exactly 60 seconds, once per day. It seems like the ultimate social cheat code until he realizes that every time he rewinds, a "Shadow Double" of himself is created in a parallel timeline. These doubles are starting to slip into his world, trying to take over his life. Jax has to find the other "Protocol" users at his school to figure out how to merge the timelines before he is replaced entirely.

Person
Carrie Ray is a storyteller who refuses to be pinned down. Whether she is crafting high-stakes sonic conspiracies in the Small Town, Big World Mysteries, weaving faith-driven suspense in The FBI and the Lady or building the epic supernatural reaches of The Primal Chronicles, Carrie explores the many facets of the human experience. Grounded in a search for truth and connection, Ray's work offers a story for every mood-from pulse-pounding thrillers like The Resonant Kill to narratives that inspire the spirit. This versatility stems from a childhood spent in vivid daydreams, a trait that now helps her transport readers to immerse new worlds. Based in Texas, Carrie's curiosity for the "unseen" drives every page she writes. When she isn't charting the course of ancient civilizations or solving gritty crimes, she can be found at home with a crochet hook in hand, catching up on her favorite series. She invites readers to join her journey and discover new worlds to daydream about for themselves.
