City at the End of Time by Greg Bear

Description: Do you dream of a city at the end of time?

Three young people-Ginny, Jack, and Daniel-dream of a doomed, decadent city of the distant future: the Kalpa. But more than dreams link Ginny, Jack, and Daniel. They are fate-shifters, born with the ability to skip like stones across the surface of the fifth dimension, inhabiting alternate versions of themselves. And each guards an object whose origin and purpose are unknown: gnarled, stony artifacts called sum-runners that persist unchanged through all versions of time. Hunted by others with similar powers who seek the sum-runners on behalf of a terrifying, goddess-like entity known as the Chalk Princess, Ginny, Jack, and Daniel are drawn, despite themselves, into an all but hopeless mission to rescue the future-and complete the greatest achievement in human history.
