The Twisted Strands of Time

~* Book Four of the Salak'patan Series *~

For quite sometime the path Monorth followed was one that he traveled alone, but always there was the family he sought to protect lingering in his shadows. Always supporting him, always counting on him, and always there when he needed them. When he began his plan to return to the world's of the Rim and cast his eyes on those places left forgotten by history, he did not do so alone. This time his all important family came with him, leaving behind their lives to cast their fates into the unknown winds of destiny. Though doubtful they contained the strength and knowledge needed to become guardians of lost worlds and forgotten history, it was his guidance and confidence that lead them through those first shaky steps of that mysterious path. But that path lead them right into the heart of trouble and guided Monorth into the destiny he wished to avoid.

Monorth has been captured by a trap none of them could have predicted, guided to that event by the fuzzy four legged chess piece of Fate. With him exiled into a swath of history long forgotten, his family has lost the force that has shepherded them beyond the Rim and guided them towards the once laughable goals or protecting the worlds of the Salak'patan from the unknown. Even as they were reaching that time when they might have believed such a thing might be possible they are deprived of the architect who first turned their thoughts to the distant stars in the heavens.

It now falls to the family he left behind to try and pick up the scattered pieces left by his sudden absence, to seek the inner strength they need to carry on without him there, and to seek the clues he may have left behind. As they begin their search into the unknown seeking evidence of his fate, the course they follow leads them into encounters and events they might never have predicted. The evidence of his absence brings no small amount of heartache and worry to his family, but it also changes their future history in ways they could never have imagined as the unknown past brings a new path into being. And as if they find he is still there guiding them, his family is lead into their own understanding of what it means to stand at the gates of the unknown.
