A Ring Realms Novel: Shaladen Chronicles A Knot in Time, Book 1, (Paperback)

An educator, warrior and adventurer, Corim had a gentle heart and a thirst for the unknown. Little does he suspect, the unknown is about to find him and kick him in the teeth...

Corim Vale has spent his life dreaming of visiting other worlds, of learning and bringing education to the masses. One thing stands between him and his lofty goals: The seventh circle challenge against Talorin Falor, the academy headmaster and arguably the strongest man on all of Titaan.

Known as the "Fighting Sage", Corim is an explorer and knowledge seeker who uses tournament winnings to fund his research. Ready to push toward loftier ambitions, the warrior-academic seeks the patronage of the powerful academy and gets swept up in a decades old vendetta, a war between ancient races, and a plot to destroy time itself.

What starts as a dare becomes a race to save the stability of Eternity when Corim's investigation uncovers the machinations of a team of evil conjurers bent on the destruction of the Chronal Protectorate--even at the cost of their lives and all sentience in the universe...
