THE PASSAGE SHOVED THEM OUT TOGETHER, SENDING JULIAN to his knees and throwing Etta on top of him. Black ringed her vision at the jarring impact, and it took her longer than she would have liked to recover enough to stand.

“That was a definite ouch,” Julian said, staggering up. “You sure your head isn’t made out of marble?”

Etta held her throbbing arm close to her chest, waiting until the pain passed before saying, “Sorry.”

They’d landed in the middle of a rocky, fog-smothered path. Etta could hardly see a few inches in front of her, let alone take in what was supposed to have been the city’s skyline.

“Manhattan, huh?” she said, turning to Julian with an arched brow. “What was that about having excellent records?”

But Julian was rooted to the spot, one hand twisting the front of his shirt.

“No, Etta,” he said. “This is New York City.”

“In prehistoric times?”

The terrain was wild—craggy hills shadowed by thick, silky fog. Etta could just make out the shape of other mounds in the distance. Someone nearby had lit a fire; the smell of charred wood bloomed in the air.

The silence breathed thickly around them, as if trying to get her attention. To tell her something. Listen.

“Maybe we took the wrong passage out of the Vatican?” she suggested.

“No,” Julian said, the word harsher now. He still hadn’t moved. “This is New York.”

Etta was about to shake him when a breeze stirred the fog, swirled it. The muddied shapes, which had clearly been hills and rough terrain, were now sloping piles of brick and stone, the warped frames of buildings and burned-out bodies of cars. The frost near her feet wasn’t frost at all, but shattered glass. Flecks of white flurried around her, and for one stupid, insane second, Etta thought, Snow. It’s snowing.

But the only thing falling around them was ash.
