The Shattered Plaza remembers everything. And it's killing Coley Darkmoon. Neon signs flicker through collapsed centuries. A 21st-century noodle stall bleeds into a 30th-century monorail. The air tastes of ash, ozone, and a war that won't stay dead. When Coley activates an ancient artifact, reality tears open-and the past doesn't just return. It attacks. Now he's caught in a desperate alliance: Lyra ChronoMoon, a warrior fighting to stabilize timelines that are eating themselves alive. Arianna, a temporal analyst whose visions reveal the Obsidian Hand's true plan. And Coley, thrust from the edges of history into its burning heart. The enemy isn't just erasing the past-they're weaponizing it. Rewriting it. And the Archive holds the one truth that could stop them. Three fractured allies. One collapsing timeline. And a war for the right to have a future at all. The Initiation of Time. kicks off The Dark Time Master Series with reality-bending stakes and heroes fighting against time itself.,
