DESTINY CAN BE A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD! A girl born in the Age of Augury but raised in the Age of Mythic, Everwyn grew up in the tranquil seclusion of Everlasting’s Ruins without fully understanding her identity. Time was irrelevant. Growing up in a secure and predictable environment, she enjoyed a warm family life that allowed her to mature peacefully. To her, her parents were just that - parents. Everwyn had no idea about her true lineage as the daughter of the Realm Caster and Librarian. Building an unexpected friendship with a tracker, Everwyn's limited world broadened. At the tender age of twelve epochs, she discovers she is a girl without a homeland, evading Time. Her once simple life took a complicated turn as destiny revealed itself. Betrayed and facing shattered dreams, Everwyn embarks on a winding path that leads her to unexpected places. With the assistance of a Fae named Kitrinas, Everwyn discovers secrets that will eventually assist the Realm Keeper, a hero not yet born. Utilizing abilities bestowed upon her by the King, Everwyn makes the sacrifice to journey through the Realm of Time. But, to truly harness that power, she needed to mature significantly. Despite facing a sequence of events beyond her control, Everwyn gradually transforms into the woman she was destined to become—the Timebender.
