Time Becomes Relevant
ByPublisher Description
Born with a coveted magic, Magnolia goes into hiding after her mother's violent abduction. Shazzwick of Land promises to help find her. One with the land, Shazz is of a people so rare most believe they are but myth. He is Unnamed. And for the first time, he has something to lose.
War is spreading.
Magnolia alone has the magic to defeat the sorceress-warlord who shattered her family and corrupted the powerful Dayus of Land.
Can Shazz keep his mortal love alive as she confronts the warmongering sorceress?

Set in a multicultural world, this is a tale of geopolitics, intrigue, complex familial dynamics, elemental versus death magic, found family and deep friendships that bridge cultures, races, and time.
