The tapestry of time twists the lives of mortal and immortal alike. What once was, is, and will be are but moments in history, woven together in a never-ending pattern. The ultimate design: only the maker truly knows.Aeons ago—before the written word—the old gods clashed with their terrible foe. Although the victor is uncertain, a great desolation followed; a lingering stillness in the very earth as if the soul of the world had been uprooted and cast aside.
But time and its tapestry mends all. And nature is nothing if not resilient.
Many thousands of years since, humanity thrives, but so does its arrogance. The remnants of the old god —of the air, land and sea—are all but forgotten. As civilisation expands and respect for the ancient ways dwindle, the fae fall further and further into obscurity. These once great creatures of power and dignity have become nothing but whispers in the night: bedtime stories and tales by the hearth fire.
It is during these times—where fate is the master and choice an aberration—the tapestry laughs as it weaves a new thread into its design. This new thread—this new life—manifests change.
One has only to look upon history to bear witness.
Preface Draft
As my world has developed, so too has the overarching story and theme for the entire series. It is because of this I decided to do a kind of “Preface” (which you can read below).
The aim is to give the reader a sense of the reality I’ve created, one I will use for all my books with changes in the second part to recap the previous story and its repercussions thereafter.
Tis only a draft, but I hope it gives you insight into what I’m trying to create.
