Tales of Temptation: Survival of the Last Universe
Published: December 7, 2023
Phase 1 — Book 1
It’s been 56 years since the collapse of the multiverse known as the Chronoverses, and the birth of their new universe, Zetalon. Things appear to be normal as Rickshaw leads his team on an arrest to stop two bank robbers. However, his reality is shattered when he learns that the universe is beginning to crack apart due to a secret organization. He and his rookie are tasked to investigate the cracks in the universe, the secret organization, and several murders all while five religious factions try to take control of their new universe for the benefit of their primordial god.
The Chronicles of Blood and Time Series
The multiverse has collapsed and from its ashes a new universe, Zetalon, is born. However, five factions who worshipped the primordial gods of old and reject the new gods are all vying for control over the new universe. The old factions remain distracted while the new gods and their followers must contend with the cracks that are appearing in the fabric of space across their universe. Join the Chronicles of Blood and Time to see which faction reigns supreme and to see if something much more dire is occurring in Zetalon.
