Timewalkers Odyssey: Ashes of the Cycle
When time breaks, only the forgotten survive.
Ryke was born nameless in the shadows of New Vel-Hadek, discarded by a world that had no use for him. Raised among rust and ruin in the Scrapyard, he learned to survive by becoming invisible. But when the Eternal Empire descends without warning-wiping out entire societies with weapons that fracture time itself-survival is no longer enough.
Zephora was born to rule, the last heir of a fallen kingdom. Her father's crown was melted before her eyes. Her name became a tool of propaganda. Then, with terrifying precision, the Empire erased even that-casting her into a collapsing timeline with nothing but a mission she cannot understand.
Juno-7 was built for exploration, not war. A synthetic marvel from a future long since corrupted, she was discarded when her usefulness ended. But she endures-processing fragments of a world she cannot logically explain, haunted by memories that shouldn't exist.
In the chaos of the Empire's first failed conquest of a rogue timeline, Ryke, Zephora, and Juno-7 are conscripted as tools of war-each controlled by implants that erase identity and override will. But when a catastrophic temporal event fractures the Empire's tether, Ryke awakens-something primordial ignites deep within.
Alone and hunted, he carves a path through time-warped ruins and nightmare void beasts until he finds them: Juno-7, paralyzed in logic loops, and Zephora, lost in a dream of submission. Through sheer instinct and raw defiance, Ryke tears them free-not just from captivity, but from the illusions imposed upon their minds.
Together, they flee into a dying reality, pursued by predators that devour memory and unravel being. Their only hope lies in the myth of an Impossible House with a yellow door-a sanctuary where time still obeys. But as the watches warned: not all doors lead where you want to go.
As Ryke's past resurfaces his body begins to change, Zephora discovers the echoes of forgotten futures, and Juno-7 begins to feel something that defies logic... the trio must confront the terrifying truth:
They were never meant to survive.
They were meant to be weapons.
But now, they might become something else entirely.
Ashes of the Cycle is the first book in a four-part epic that blends emotional grit, haunting mystery, and mind-bending temporal warfare. For fans of The Broken Earth, Hyperion, and Edge of Tomorrow, this is a saga where time is both the battlefield and the weapon-and the only way out is through.
