Crossroads of Time

Violence Alcohol Use Frightening Content Gore

A clairvoyant boy tries to save the world from apocalypse.

Imagine you could see the future… But is that enough to alter it?

Kairu Kenai, the son of a blacksmith from a desolate village, was only 13 when he discovered his unusual gift: the things he saw in his dreams soon became reality.

It's useful when your dreams tell you what tomorrow's weather will be like, or how good the autumn's harvest will be… But what do you do when your visions become full of blood, fire, and destruction?

A few years later, Kairu receives a letter from an extravagant scientist, who invites him to join the archeological expedition that aims to discover a powerful magical artifact from a lost ancient shrine. The expedition will set out toward the cold and dangerous northern mountains, where ice winds, wild monsters, and dark ancient magic protect the shrine from uninvited guests. But the reward is worth it: in return, the scientist promises Kairu wealth, fame, a chance to see the world—and most importantly, the truth behind his nightmares.

What his dreams will not show is that by signing the contract, Kairu will enter a violent game of powerful opposing forces, who seek to know the future… or control time itself.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

[+] The story is FINISHED. It spans 7 books, and in total about 500k words

[+] Slow-burn epic fantasy

[+] Multiple PoVs. Often, intra-chapter PoV switches

[+] The story is driven by characters and their interactions to solve the mysteries. The action scenes are sparse, but intense.

[+] Slow-burn romance side-arc

[+] Time traveling! (Not immediately, though)

What NOT to expect:

[-] This is NOT a LitRPG! There are no System or Stats!

[-] No harem, smut, etc

It's like: Indiana Jones and Lara Croft raiding tombs in the world of Lord of the Rings, with prose and pacing inspired by The Witcher and His Dark Materials.

Average chapter length is 3k, and it will get longer.
