The multiverse is collapsing. The time machine is broken. And humanity’s last hope? Might already be dead.
Seven months after the EMPs brought the world to its knees, a handful of scientists are racing against extinction—and each other. Somewhere in a flooded skyscraper lies a wormhole generator that might be able to undo the apocalypse. If they can find it. If it still works. If it doesn’t kill them first.
Meanwhile, Diego Nadales wakes in a cell, his face bloodied and his memories fractured. He's being accused of terrorism, treason, and time travel. The last one, at least, is true.
Isabel is trapped inside a biodome ruled by the man she once trusted. But her bees—microscopic drones designed to save the planet—have been hijacked and weaponized. If she doesn’t find a way out soon, her creation will wipe out the last threads of life on Earth.
Old friends return. New enemies rise. And somewhere in the chaos, one small spark of hope just might be enough to ignite a revolution.
The clock isn’t ticking. It’s blowing up.

Four timelines. One collapsing future. And the people trying to save it are running out of chances.
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, naked, freezing, and furious, inside a private spacetime lab built by someone who knows far too much about her. The offer is 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, the same question keeps
How much can you change before the universe starts collecting its debts?
