When Isabel Sanborn wakes in a flooded transit capsule with her dog beside her and no Diego in sight, she expects danger. She does not expect a dead airport ruled by ritual, fear, and killer microdrones.
In another timeline, James Nadales finds an impossible seashell on a tropical beach and cuts his finger on the future. Hours later, a stranger with stolen plans and too many secrets walks into his life, handing him and Dave Kirkland the blueprint for humanity’s survival—or its destruction.
Sabina Lovelace has already survived one doomed world. Now she has been dragged into another, cold, exposed, and furious, inside a private spacetime lab built by someone who knows far too much about her. The offer is simple: help fix the timelines, or watch the remaining paths collapse.
And Lucas, sixteen-year-old son of two impossible people, knows more about time travel than anyone his age should. He also knows the adults are making mistakes. Fatal ones.
Across biodomes, ruined cities, sealed labs, and fractured worlds, every rescue creates a new threat. Every jump leaves a mark. And time is beginning to push back.
