PREFACE
TIME AND THE GODS
THE COMING OF THE SEA
A LEGEND OF THE DAWN
THE VENGEANCE OF MEN
WHEN THE GODS SLEPT
THE KING THAT WAS NOT
In a realm where the gods once slumbered beside a broad river, their dreams shape a glittering marble city that rises from the desert’s heart. Sardathrion, with its towering pinnacles, onyx lions, and fountains that kiss the heavens, is a place only the chosen few ever glimpse—a city that exists beyond ordinary sight and memory. The narrative opens with the ancient servants of the gods—especially the ageless figure of Time—who watch over this timeless citadel as the deities converse about their past glories and the enduring power of their creation.
Through lyrical prose, the story weaves together mythic vistas, whispered conversations among the divine, and the subtle tension between immortal will and the relentless flow of Time. Listeners are drawn into a world where the boundaries between mortals and gods blur, and where the very act of remembering a forgotten city holds the promise of wonder and mystery.
