Summary

Time is not linear—it is a vast, untamed sea of forgotten moments and unseen futures. Beneath its surface lies Aevonir, the realm of dreams, where fate is etched in shifting sands and cities are born from echoes. Beyond that lies Noireland, a universe torn by an ancient war between light and shadow. Two titans stand at the heart of this conflict: Queen Veridame Mirevane, ruler of Valorous, whose wisdom transcends lifetimes, and Lord Yvessia Drachme Beaumont, a warrior-scholar who commands the frozen empire of Anaktoron. Their battle has raged across ages, their war a tapestry of lost empires and buried truths. But the fate of time itself rests not in their hands. It lies with Zachariah “Zach” Veyne, a young man born in Velroux, unaware that his existence defies the very laws of time. He is a child of two warring lineages, a living paradox who can drift through time’s currents—but never forward. Only backward. Only sideways. Only into what has already been.

Alongside Marianne, a girl tied to visions of what is yet to come, he must confront ancient secrets, fractured realities, and the possibility that everything—even time—can be rewritten. The sea is restless. The waters are calling. And time is no longer on their side...
