Synopsis
Science, measurement, counting have all been outlawed because of the danger they pose – the chaos energy they create.
Energy that bloodthirsty sorcerers would use to restart the wars that nearly destroyed the world, or so the Mediators say. Meanwhile, Clocksmiths working to preserve shattered pieces of the past are trapped between the two sides as the only reliable source for the watches used to power sorcerous magic.
Tel is a simple Clocksmith, wanting nothing more than to hide away and focus on his peaceful hobby.
Anad is a Mediator, a protector of the people against the danger of sorcerers and the chaos magic they wield.
Shara is a thief and a sorcerer, using her magic to enrich herself no matter who it hurts – as long as she gets what she’s after.
Or, are they?
After a bloody raid on an enclave full of lost and forbidden technology, Tel and Shara are forced on the run, Anad hot on their heels. The Mediator has simple orders – kill any sorcerers or Clocksmiths he finds. Except, one of his targets isn’t a stranger, and Anad has questions. It’s just too bad the pair won’t stay in one place long enough for him to ask. Then again, they’re rightfully afraid of him executing them.
As he closes in, a new danger begins to stir nearby. One that threatens them all. And, although their roles mean they can never really be friends, if they can’t put aside their differences – at least for the moment – they’ll never be able to survive what’s coming for them.
###
Time For Chaos is a progression fantasy with three main characters, a unique world, lost technology, and straightforward magic. There is trauma, possible overuse of violence, and some definite gore. There’s also a Woolly Shambler.
What’s a Woolly Shambler? You’ll have to read to find out!
This is also a complete book with a definitive end. Chapters will release M/W/F with 3 chapters each (you’ll understand why quickly enough) until a certain point in the story. After that, release days will remain the same, though the number of chapters will change. Sounds very dramatic, doesn’t it?
