Eternity's Past

Eternity's Past - Book Description (Final Polished Draft)

A fractured world. A broken alchemist. A power that could reshape reality-or shatter it forever.

The Eternal Core once held the balance of creation, its golden energy sustaining a world of innovation and peace. But ambition corrupted it, betrayal fractured it, and now, its unstable shards spread chaos across time and space. Cities crumble, moments freeze in endless loops, and the very fabric of reality teeters on the brink of collapse.

Orran Darrow, the alchemist who broke the Core, lives in exile-haunted by the lives lost, the guilds destroyed, and the echoes of his catastrophic ambition. When golden anomalies rip through the ruins of Mellarin, drawing Orran back to a city he helped destroy, he is forced to confront his legacy. There, he meets Leva, a hardened warrior with scars of her own and a determination to stop the spreading destruction. Together, they must unravel the truth behind the Core's shattering-but every answer leads to darker secrets.

As constructs born from forgotten alchemical designs hunt them across a crumbling world, Orran and Leva uncover a sinister force manipulating the Core's fragments. At its center is Rendall, Orran's brilliant but ruthless former apprentice. Wielding a shard of the Eternal Core, Rendall seeks to rebuild the world-not as it was, but as he believes it should be, no matter the cost. To stop him, Orran must reckon with the same power that once tempted him to defy the laws of nature.

But the Core is not merely a broken artifact-it is alive. It whispers to Orran, promising redemption even as it tempts him with ultimate power. With every step closer to the truth, Orran risks becoming the very thing he fears most: the destroyer of all that remains.

Eternity's Past is a spellbinding tale of ambition, redemption, and the fragile balance between creation and destruction. Rich with immersive world-building, intricate alchemical magic, and morally complex characters, this epic fantasy will captivate fans of Mistborn and The Name of the Wind.

In a world unraveling at the seams, can one broken alchemist mend what he destroyed-or will his mistakes doom reality itself? As the Veil fractures and time itself spirals out of control, Eternity's Past dares to ask: What would you sacrifice to rewrite the past-and who decides the cost?
