Bookroo's summary

Wade Mullins, Anna, Kyle, and Maddy are thrust into alternate worlds where their actions could change everything. Wade is seen as an omen of doom, Anna and Kyle must use their powers to save a rightful heir, and Maddy uncovers a plot threatening a princess's life. Each faces a critical choice: embrace their roles in these unfolding dramas or risk the collapse of entire cultures. As they navigate these challenges, the stakes are nothing less than the survival of worlds and the lives of those they encounter.

From the publisher

Arin’s Judgment: One minute, Wade Mullins is at home, attempting to destroy top-secret drawings for the atomic bomb. The next minute, he’s in an alternate world staring at a strange prophet who says Wade is the final sign, an end-time omen of a culture on the verge of annihilation. Darien’s Rise: Anna wanted superpowers, but now she’s not so sure after being transported to a new planet. She sees visions of the future. And her brother Kyle is a bodyguard who can’t fail. But both of their powers are only used to help Darien, the rightful heir to the throne of Marus. Darien is being held by a man so evil, not even Anna and Kyle can save him. Annison’s Risk: Maddy finds herself in a strange new land called Marus where a conquering king is about to marry a princess. The king’s most trusted adviser is hatching an evil plot to stamp out followers of the “old faith,” and Maddy discovers that plan includes the new princess. Should Maddy reveal the truth and usher in political chaos? Or will the princess have to give up her life to bring peace?
