Book 1 in the series, The Chronicles of Ki titled In The Beginning features a long-lived Sect of Shem priest by the name of Curator of Ecid. Curator designates him as the high priest of the sect; Ecid tells us where on Nibiru he's from. His hometown, so to speak.

Among Curator of Ecid's philosophies is the posit that time is never ending. Looping around on itself like a Mobius, there is no beginning and no end. The statement that encapsulates that idea for Curator of Ecid is: The past is the future is the past.

As readers who follow up and read Book 2 of the series, Days of Reckoning, will soon discover, that idea forms the framework upon which the story is built. Kings, queens, princely half-brother sons, a princess who acts as mediator between the constantly bickering princes. All appear in much the same form and personality in both stories.

The stand-alone books however, have interwoven themes that differ radically. And that is where the phrase, The Past is The Future Is The Past takes hold. Death and destruction is the physical representation of that phrase in both books, as are the royal relationships from Book 1 that are repeated in Book 2.

Start your reading adventure here, with Book 1: In The Beginning.

Or, if you prefer, since both are stand-alone stories, Book 2: Days of Reckoning.
