Fantasy & SciFi

In the dying embers of ancient Greece, as Rome’s shadow stretches across the Aegean, Ariadne, daughter of a renowned scholar, unearths a secret within her father’s library: the Chronika, luminous scrolls whispering of futures unseen. These are not mere historical records; they are keys to time itself, granting glimpses of bustling future cities and desolate moonscapes bearing human footprints.

Into Ariadne’s world of hushed scholarship strides Kallias, a warrior with eyes like the Aegean and a past shrouded in mystery. Drawn to his quiet strength, Ariadne finds herself caught in a forbidden love, a dangerous flame in a world on the brink of chaos.

For the Chronika cast long shadows. Lysander, a scholar consumed by ambition, senses their power and plots to claim them, weaving a web of deceit that threatens to ensnare Ariadne and Kallias. As they decipher the scrolls’ secrets, whispers of temporal disturbances ripple through Athens. Oracles foresee unraveling time, and nymphs, once benevolent, turn hostile. Reality itself begins to fray.

Torn between love and duty, Ariadne must choose: share the Chronika’s power and risk unleashing temporal chaos, or conceal them and condemn Kallias to the shadows of a past inextricably linked to the scrolls. Their quest for answers leads them through the labyrinthine streets of Athens to a reclusive sibyl who foretells a Chronal Convergence, a cataclysm that will shatter time itself. To prevent it, they must find the Sunstone, a mythical artifact hidden on a mist-shrouded island.

But Lysander hunts them relentlessly, and a desperate sea battle leaves Kallias lost to the churning waves. Grief-stricken, Ariadne unleashes the Chronika’s full power, erasing Lysander but scattering the scrolls across time. Now, armed with a celestial map and a device of unimaginable power, she must journey through Renaissance Florence, ancient Egypt, and a dystopian future, battling rival time travelers and confronting the chilling consequences of her choices, all while searching for the lost scrolls…and a way to bring back the warrior who stole her heart. But a far greater threat looms, a being neither god nor human, the very entity that created the Chronika – an embodiment of time itself. Can Ariadne master the secrets of time, reunite with her lost love, and save reality from the ultimate unraveling?
