Something isn't right in the world that's in the 661,986th universe, within its 62nd galaxy, if one counts by the order that universes and galaxies came into existence. It's also not right in the 616,042,690th universe. It's not because they are iterations of each other, that's a given, it's actually because of something much, much darker: the Devoid.
The Devoid, a creature who sews discord and destruction wherever it goes, is awake and hunting. No one, in any universe or any iteration, is safe.
At the Crossroads where the origin points of Space and Time intersect with those of Eternity and Infinity, the Four Guardians hold in place. For untold millennia they have been there. Aloof. Steadfast. Silent Sentinels. Vigilant protectors of The All. Their mission: to Guard The All, from any and all threats, within and without. The Guardians are ever ready to stand against and protect the fragile balance at the entranceways of the thresholds to the Primal Forces of Infinity, Eternity, Time and Space. All interconnected, yet separate, they keep all that is, as it should be. All joined, yet each to their own purpose. They guard against anything that would disrupt the Harmony that is The All.
THE FIFTH GUARDIAN: A SYMPHONY OF DISCORD, a science fiction novella, is appropriate for older teens and adult readers. This multiversal musical maelstrom follows five people and their variations across The All. They share at least two things in common: a haunting melody and being hunted by The Devoid.
