Blurb:
Time travel. For mages,
it violates their number one rule: what the Mother has written, let no one
unwrite. The Mother writes the destinies of the creatures on the world of
Karishian. If her writings were undone, it is feared that Creation itself could
be undone. The Dark Mage Morgorth takes this rule to heart, but there are
others who do not.
Morgorth is about to
claim a stone of power when it is stolen from him by a female mage he hasn't
seen in decades. As they struggle for the stone, she activates it, and Morgorth
is unwillingly plunged into another time and another place. It isn't long
before he realizes what time he's found himself in and there are a few familiar
faces.
Most notable is a much
younger version of Aishe. His mate.
Living with a tribe who
will be massacred, caring for a young lad who will become his mate, and
fighting a battle against a mage who can travel from past to future at a whim;
Morgorth's life has never been easy but now he must contend with the will of
the Mother. Unable to change the future and the tragedies of Aishe's life, he
must decide what his role in his mate's past will be, and ask himself one vital
question: how does one defeat time?

Excerpt:
Even as I felt the air around her began to tremble and heat, I only had a split second to make a decision. I lunged forward, trying to grab the stone again. She jerked her arm away but I managed to grab her wrist just as she activated the stone's power. I didn't have time to change my mind as a silver dome formed around Drasyln, as the stone seemed to open a vortex with a gravity I couldn't fight. I was being suffocated, compressed on all sides. My breath left my lungs, my muscles seized and wept. My last thoughts were of Aishe, and if I would ever see him again.

In my efforts to
prevent this exact event, I realized I'd just broken the cardinal rule of a
mage. The Number One rule my mentor Master Ulezander had ever taught me.
What the Mother has written, let no one
unwrite.
Atcoatlu was an
agate. It was the stone of time.

adventures and creating characters that always triumph against the villain and
