Introduction

This is the second entry in a nine-part series that traverses eons, featuring realms such as Antares Prime, Beta, and Theta, alongside Earth from the Early Lemurian to the Patriarchal era, and into a distant future.

Time Rifts continues right where Pursuit left off (refer to Chapters 58–62 for context):

Pursuit Recap

• 59/ Reckoning Pt-2

Themes in Time Rifts

Jac copes with his grief by trying to rewrite history, believing he can alter the past. However, this attempt might be in vain from his perspective. The narrative intricately examines how Jac and Touzdae confront their losses and PTSD stemming from their experiences in the Well of Souls.

This volume scrutinizes human errors and the complexities of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others. It also explores the resolution of karmic debts and the essence of assistance.

As the characters navigate their path home, they encounter numerous challenges, breakthroughs, and thrilling experiences.
