Summary
Catherine had just turned fifty when she got the letter at her flat. She didn't know what she would have done if it had arrived at Slough House. The "Department of Determinative Service" had scheduled her appointment.
Her mother would have died of shame if she'd known it would come to this. Fifty and the bond still untriggered. It hadn't been meant to be like that, at least not at first.
The timer had changed one night in '91. Instead of a steady countdown to a shared future with her soulmate, an infinity symbol had been etched on her skin. Not unheard of, but rare.
Now she could finally find out what had gone wrong. The process was simple enough. The system granted you six questions, each leading to an alternative reality in which to gather the truth. Hopefully, she wouldn't get sidetracked.
