Description
The Malku universe is an alternate world where fae, merfolk, and humans live together. The fae clan consists of water-faes, air-faes, and land faes. The human clans are equally varied with humans from all races, class, religions, and status. In some regions, there is harmony among these separate clans. In other regions, there are hurdles, prejudices, and social complications.
These annals are historical lore from many different regions of the fantastical world of Malku; written by different scribes, for varied purposes. The primary story, Turn Back O Time, tells the story of how Prince Eirik and the fae warred against the aristocrats of that land. Other stories include the story of how the fae prince Flight saved his god-daughter from a wrongful marriage, the tale of a betrayed mermaid in The Girl in the Dim, and the story of the beginnings of the DragonFly Islands.
The stories in this volume are not in chronological order. Some of the characters in these stories -- the long-lived fae, for instance-- appear in many stories in different centuries. Other characters, the humans and merfolk, appear only once. There are a few human characters --kings, priests, and other historical personages-- who appear in some stories because of their effect on Malku history. The society and culture of the Malku world and its history unfold throughout the various stories.
This book is entitled "Turn Back O Time" because it contains five stories or tales, the largest of which is "Turn Back O Time."
Most of the tales deal with the issue of time, regret, and the consequences of certain chosen actions and therefore there are several time-travel and time-loop stories. Moreover, one of the characters in the first story reappears in the last story to help bookend the theme of regret and time. This book is part of a series which will include other annals such as the tales of SeaWalker, How Skall Dragonrider Won His Three Wives, The Charcoal Bride, and many others.
