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.

the bills. After graduating from the University of Oregon and majoring in
English, she embarked on her writing career and couldn't be happier. Working by
day, writing by night, she enjoys embarking on romantic quests and daring
adventures and creating characters that always triumph against the villain and
find their soul mate in the process.
