Time works like a clockwork machine, with each cog and gear precisely moving in concordance with a purpose. 
Every one of us fits into the machine-- the Time god's machinations-- and any perceived control or power on our own part is part of the design.  The question is, why would Time then bestow temporal magic upon Quondam and Aori-- the means to possibly usurp the power he has over us all?  And which of them is the Anachronist, who will one day destroy Time?

Book One:
​Seasons of the Wither

What if you did have all the time in the world? What if you knew then what you know now? Aori Timister and Quondam Anon discover the answers to these age old questions and more. In these two seemingly separate lives, Time itself offers a deal that appears impossible to turn down. But at what cost? Is righting past wrongs really worth the end of the world? Join them, as they encounter musical beings, long lost frenemies, mythical creatures, and sometimes life and death themselves. All the while, their intertwining destinies— both real and imagined— thrust them toward a future that may or may not exist. 

Book Two: 
The Temporal Trinity

 Aori Timister manipulates time. If he is part of the temporal trinity, does that mean he's manipulating himself? As Aori travels through Biblical times and the Ancient Roman Empire, he and those he encounters blur the lines between historical and religious figures, old friends and former enemies, and gods and men. Also, what dark connection links King Saul from the Old Testament with Emperor Nero of Rome? When the living embodiment of a death wish spreads a suicide plague throughout the world, who will be able to stop the never-ending cycle of self-inflicted violence? 

Book Three:
​Quondam et Futurus

 Quondam, the Once and Future Man, travels through 13th Century Eastern Asia with his giant friend Munder, gets all mixed up in historical events, and fights the bloodthirsty minions of the Infinis, an eternally suicidal death god. To make things worse, Quondam can’t remember fighting the same battles thirty years earlier, and Munder keeps turning more and more bestial. Oh, and Quondam’s wooden sword might have a mind of its own.
​
What if the Earth is doomed to destroy itself, and there’s nothing Quondam can do to stop it?
