Synopsis

Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their groundbreaking achievements. Their most astonishing invention, called the Firebird, allows users to jump into multiple universes—and promises to revolutionize science forever. But then Marguerite’s father is murdered, and the killer—her parent’s handsome, enigmaticassistant Paul— escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.Marguerite refuses to let the man who destroyed her family go free. So she races after Paul through different universes, always leaping into another version of herself. To accomplish her goal, she must learn how each world works, and confront the many people she has the capacity to become. But she also meets alternate versions of the people she knows — including Paul, whose life entangles with hers in increasingly familiar ways. Before long she begins to question Paul’s guilt—as well as her own heart. And soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is far more sinister than she expected.A Thousand Pieces of You explores an amazingly intricate multi-universe where the truth is elusive, and love the greatest mystery of all. “With on the edge of your seat mystery and suspense, this thrilling adventure will keep you guessing until the end.”  # 1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout“An action–packed start….Gray effortlessly moves between the SF, historical, and contemporary aspects of her story.”  Publishers Weekly“This unique science fiction adventure is full of twists, turns, and surprises.”  Booklist“This well–blended mix of adventure, sci–fi, and romance will appeal to a wide audience.”  School Library Journal

About the author

Claudia Gray

Claudia Gray is a pseudonym. I would like to say that I chose another name so that no one would ever learn the links between my shadowy, dramatic past and the explosive secrets revealed through my characters. This would be a lie. In truth, I took a pseudonym simply because I thought it would be fun to choose my own name. (And it is.)I write novels full-time, absolutely love it, and hope to be able to do this forever. My home is in New Orleans, is more than 100 years old, and is painted purple. In my free time I read, travel, hike, cook and listen to music.
