BLURB:

 

Addison and Jules, members of the League, a secret alchemist society of Inkers who protect the time continuum, believe they defeated their enemy, Cuthbert Grimwald, known to them as Kairos. When he resurfaces filled with vengeance, intent on destroying the League, and acquiring the Alchimeia, a book of such power the League has hidden it for millennia, Grimwald leaves a path of destruction across centuries. As he quests for absolute control of reality, Addison and Jules pursue him through time and death in a desperate struggle to save the world from his vengeance.

EXCERPT:

“You’ve done well my friends. A bit of a shaky start, but in the end, I am pleased with the result.”

 

Jules glanced to Addison, who was also pulling himself up to stand. “What are you talking about? You could have killed us.”

 

“If I wanted you dead, we wouldn’t be talking.” Boggy raised his hands as if to parry their blows. “Today’s lesson is partnership. Do you see?”

 

Addison slowly rotated an arm with a grimace. “Keep talking.”

 

“Inking is a dangerous enterprise. You find yourself in a foreign world in an earlier time, often fighting to survive long enough to complete your mission. But the physical dangers of inking do not hold a candle to the emotional and psychological dangers. Your consciousness, the essence of your being, occupies the mind of another. With each passing moment, a small part of who you are slips out of your grasp unless you master the relationship between Inker and host. You must die to live, right? But all living creatures naturally gravitate toward life and away from death. The world of an Inker is therefore a paradox of conflicting realities. Without a partner, you struggle alone against insurmountable odds. Partners have each other’s backs, keeping the hosts alive and the mission viable. And upon completion, partners ensure their hosts die. Because we never leave an Inker behind. Never.”

REVIEW

This is a story about time travelers. These time travelers must stop evil from destroying everything.

Jules & Addison... these two think they have put a stop to Kairos. Little did they know that Kairos also knows as Grimbald is still very much around and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

 Kairos/Grimbald is an evil person leaving blood and devastation in his path. He must be stopped.

This story will most definitely take you on an adventure. Jules & Addison bring so much to they story. They are great characters that really draw you in and who you just root for to save the day. Each page will only leave you wanting more and put you more on edge. Definitely a wild ride! Highly recommend this one.
