Free Time

Written by Brooke Shaffer

Narrated by Brooke Shaffer

And just like that, things are back to normal, almost as if nothing had happened. Cassius is dead, Rifun has fled, the Hands of Time are back in control, and all seems well. While everything is back to normal, nothing is the same. With the Akarin revealing themselves in what is perceived as an Akari-bearer civil war against the Cult of the Akari, the survivors of the Zero Hour Revolution want blood, and they don't care whose it is.

As if that's not bad enough, the Borelians are no pushovers when it comes to slights and broken contracts, and they issue an official declaration of war against humanity. In the midst of all of this, Tommen has problems of his own as he is forcibly ousted from his position as manager of the bakery. Angry, he signs up to be a counselor at a summer camp for troubled children. Problem is, the counselor he is assisting is more troubled than the children. Worse, he is also Tommen's new mentor when it comes to his new Akari training—something Rifun does not take kindly to.

More players take the field, knowing that the Zero Hour Revolution was but one battle in what could be a very long war.

Brooke Shaffer was born and raised in a small town in Michigan with one blinking light and a stop sign that's more of a suggestion. After dropping out of college in 2013, she married her husband Adam in 2014 and they moved out to an even smaller town that doesn't even have a stop sign, where they started a farm that continues to this day. Her favorite animal has been and always will be cats, of which she currently has five. Other hobbies include video games, construction work and tinkering, traveling, martial arts, and eating.
