Square Root of Time Series

Josanin the Heartless just wanted to conquer the world, not save it. Josanin has been an ambitious schemer all his life—a calculating wizard who has matched wits with countless heroes over the years. Dwarves, humans, halflings and elfin folk have all borne the brunt of Josanin's desire for power. But an accidental discovery reveals that the Free Folk are the least of his worries. A terrifying legend out of antiquity, Alimnazer the Hearteater, is real and about to unleash total annihilation on the world. Much to his consternation, Josanin must play the hero for a change. Josanin may be the chosen one, but he can't stop an evil of such magnitude alone. To succeed, he'll need the help of his most resilient foes, the fire paladin Prince Wilelm, his equally fiery wife, Princess Ambre, and all the champions with whom they've surrounded themselves. Unfortunately for him, these battle-tested heroes will never believe a word their old enemy Josanin says, much less volunteer to help. Against such impossible odds, only a truly heartless manipulator like Josanin has the evil cunning to bend the champions to his will and set up a final battle that gives the world a sliver of hope against a would-be god.

Something terrible happened to time and space; now, dreams and nightmares are as tangible as the ground beneath Washington's feet, and the world is full of impossibilities made reality. Ordinary men like George can find themselves rubbing shoulders with someone out of legend, like Merlin, or watching as the super-powered hero known as Alien flies through the sky above the streets of Philadelphia. As Washington and his fellow Founders labor to create an America that can truly be a beacon of safety and liberty in this strange new world, dark undercurrents threaten to topple the young republic before it is fully formed. Not everyone is pleased with the idea of liberty for all, and some will stop at nothing to keep it from happening.

Desperate to reach civilization, he and his fiesty traveling companion, Eren, seem to stumble from one strange and deadly situation to the next. And there's no guarantee the city won't prove to be just as deadly for the pair of accidental adventurers ... Book 3 in the Square Root of Time series. Approximately 175,000 words.

Times aren’t what they used to be. Literally. With the multiverse rent asunder by Alimnazer the Hearteater’s interrupted ritual, all the possibilities—all the various interpretations of time and space—have a chance at being represented in the reformed universe. And somewhere or another, most are. Josanin the Heartless, instrumental in leading the heroes to stop Alimnazer from becoming the only god of all time, finds himself in a strange land with his old enemies, Prince Wilelm and Princess Ambre. Realizing that Alimnazer is probably still alive and striving to complete his spell, the trio is faced with the fact that their feud may cost them the future if it continues. Meanwhile, Peter Alexeyevich Romanov, known to history as Czar Peter the Great, awakens in a Kremlin he doesn’t recognize, surrounded by enemies from a future he never imagined. Desperate to stop this new enemy, Josef Stalin, from committing the atrocities attributed to him in the future, the Czar allies himself with David Benjamin, an Israeli Nazi-hunter, and Soundbyte, a masked vigilante who wields futuristic technology that ignites Peter’s imagination. In Philadelphia, George Washington and America's other founding fathers are astonished to find themselves prodded into action by both the extra-terrestrial superhero known as Alien, and the legendary wizard Merlin Ambrosius. Elsewhere, others are more concerned with simply staying alive. But as the heroes and ordinary folk of this new reality struggle to survive in a world that teeters on the edge of chaos, paths will cross, fates will be tied together, and common cause will be found. Because Alimnazer is out there. Waiting. And he has all the time in the world. Book Two of the Square Root of Time series.
