The Multitude

Convinced religion is the seed for violence, a supernatural creature travels into the past to erase Christianity. But she accidentally divides the universe like an amoeba, spawning a barbaric version of mankind still living in the shadow of the Roman Empire. Gabriella spreads her mischief through old world and new in a quest to establish a messiah for the morally bankrupt civilization she created.In our universe and modern day, Gabriella spills the recession-challenged businessman, Brewster Delay, and struggling shopkeeper, Carla Summers, out of their tortured dreams for a series of midnight trysts. She hopes their union will stimulate the latent power of Maynya, a messiah candidate who is linked to Carla in the duplicate world. The couple fall in love and seem destined for happiness until the police arrive with allegations Brewster murdered Carla a year before they ever met.Elsewhere, Brewster's link, a soldier named Quintus who lives in Gabriella's Latin-speaking world, embarks on a bewildering cross-country journey rife with biblical echoes. He eventually meets and falls in love with Maynya, the priestess of a people living in chains, only to learn he must kill his own brother to set her free.Brewster must decide the fate he shares with Carla, Quintus, and Maynya but faces an impossible choice. How can he reverse his beloved Carla's earlier death when the butterfly effect would kill her double, Maynya - the woman earmarked by Gabriella as a messiah - and perhaps leave an entire civilization in darkness?
