Isabel arrives in the wrong future. The people who survived it want her dead.

From 2026 IndieReader Discovery Awards winner DL Orton comes DOME, Book Three of the Madders of Time series.

Twelve years after Eden-17 seals, Isabel and Tolstoy arrive near the ruins of Denver International Airport. Diego is missing. Killerbots swarm the wasteland. And the survivors who drag her inside the terminal blame Isabel for creating the machines that destroyed civilization.

They have a point.

But when the bots fail to kill her, Isabel threatens everything the People of the Fence believe about their enemy. The Keeper sees an opportunity. He sends her to the Hook—a rusted cage deep in killerbot territory—where she'll serve as bait for an Eden-2 convoy. If Isabel wants to find Diego, she'll first have to survive the world she helped destroy.

In another timeline, sixteen-year-old Lucas is running out of futures. While Madders searches for a timeline where humanity survives, Lucas struggles to keep the others from collapsing. He needs someone quick, discreet, and obedient.

He gets Sabina Lovelace.

Pulled from her own world, Sabina infiltrates a locked-down airport hours before Eden-17 seals. But when she refuses to abandon Cassie and Picasso, a rescue mission becomes a desperate midair theft. Their target: the Hive Controller, a device that must be planted in another timeline for someone to discover years later.

In a world that hasn't yet collapsed, James—another version of Diego—has everything his other selves are fighting for. His wife Bella. Their five-year-old twins, Lucas and Soleil. A future worth protecting.

Decades ago, James and his best friend Dave Kirkland received impossible plans for biodomes, a spacetime bridge, and a machine that could see into other timelines. Together, they built a vast network of biodomes—humanity's best hope of surviving what's coming.

Now a metal sphere has crashed in Siberia, carrying James's name—and one of his dirty socks.

Soviet agents track down James. They know about the time machine plans and demand he come to the USSR—with Bella and the twins. He refuses. They leave him bloodied, with a warning: his family is next.

To keep the people he loves alive, James may have to sacrifice everything.

Or convince the world he already has.

Parallel lives. Worlds apart. One time loop tearing itself apart.

Every rescue rewrites the future. Every life saved leaves someone else to pay the price.

How far would you go to save the people you love if every choice could erase them?
