'A Star Destroyed. A World Lost in Fire.

'My name is Jansa Kell of the Spacefaring Caste.

'A devastating blast wave of solar energy is headed for Helios Prime. Moments before impact, I'm rescued by my daughter, Sarys—a military pilot who came back for me against orders. When she loses all contact with the military, we have no one to rely on but each other.

'We don't know what's happened to the leaders of our world or its military. Have they abandoned us, or like so many others, have they perished?

'Alien mercenaries hunt us, but we don't know why. Some of our planet's survivors are spared, but we're not sure if it's a trap to ensnare more of us or if they're targeting us specifically. As danger closes in, we must escape and follow the trail wherever it leads.

'We can't have a future until we know why our true enemy wants to kill us. With every move we make, they seem one step ahead. Our world is as dead as our shattered star, but we have to find out the truth and preserve our world's legacy. If we falter, I fear they'll kill us too.'

'He meant to save everyone, not destroy time itself...
'In a quest for selfish advancement, the people of Eric's planet are planning to irrevocably rupture the fabric of the universe. There's only one way to prevent catastrophe: reject his loyalties and journey to the past to seek trusted allies to help prevent the destruction before it can begin.
'It's a shame that time isn't his only hurdle...
'Stuck on Earth in the 17th century with his ship broken and venting radiation, Eric seeks a lost item that has fallen into the hands of his enemies. There's more danger than he could have foreseen and his journey has caused unexpected trouble.
'He needs to fix the fractures he's caused in the space-time continuum before he can attempt to go home, otherwise there may be no home waiting for him. And when he meets a mysteriously familiar woman, he's certain that he's met her before, even though he's never seen her face. He'll have to keep her close if he doesn't want to make things worse.
Time marches on, and now it's stepping to Eric's tune. If he fails, it's not only the future that's at stake, but history and the fate of billions.'

Sisters by birth, heroes by choice! In the city of Kalle, Cassia and Alexa are priestesses of the Sisters of Destiny, an order of female sorcerers. While absent from the temple, their home is attacked and the sisters return to find it ablaze; many of their fellow priestesses slain. Barely escaping alive, the sisters face an uncertain future, unsure of who they can trust. With a perilous road ahead, they must escape their home city to reach the priestesses of Kelbani – a neighbouring city in the mountains – for help and to warn the priestesses of the danger they face. Pursued by cultists, the sisters join forces with an unlikely ally, and learn there may be more at stake than their own survival. The future of many may hinge on their actions.
