The timeline fractures deeper with every choice... and some secrets refuse to stay buried...

Alan Carson emerges from the portal into 2025 to find a world shaped by his own warnings. The Timms Ranch stands fortified. Douglas Timms is prepared. Sierra is alive and safe.

But Kenneth Sears is there too -- respected, trusted, embedded in the lives Alan swore to protect.

Alan has seen what Kenneth becomes in other timelines. He's watched the betrayal unfold before. Now he must decide whether that darkness can truly be erased... or whether it's only waiting for the right moment to surface again.

As armed mercenaries push into the region and militias brace for conflict, a far more dangerous threat emerges: someone has learned about the cave. Someone with training, resources, and no hesitation about killing to reach it. This time, the enemy finds the portal before Alan can stop them.

With Kaylee refusing to accept that their bond can simply be rewritten, and Kocha struggling to survive in a world never meant for him, the fight for the cave becomes a collision of past and future -- and a test of whether destiny can be changed without destroying everything in the process.

Deception is the ninth gripping installment in the In Times to Come series, where every altered timeline carries a cost -- and some truths are more dangerous than lies.
