Temple of Time: Forsaken

In Jane Toombs, Temple of Time: FORSAKEN, Charis and Xenon discover the power of love and magic as they travel to safety.

Charis desperately wants to be real, but fears that she will fade away because she is a phantasm. As she travels with Xenon, she discerns within herself the strength and ability to make decisions and act on them. Jane Toombs’ artfully represents the journey from innocence to wisdom through the evolution of Charis.

Xenon’s life is in peril because he is the beloved son of his father. With the Kings True Ring, he flees into the Temple of Time seeking to foil his brother’s plan to steal the ring. With Charis, he realizes that he desires to live and now search for a way to save them and the ring. Jane Toombs’ eloquently portrays the capacity and influence of two to prevail over those who would crush them.

Temple of Time deftly tales a tale of nobility, love, faithfulness, and wisdom to surmount the obstacles placed by the greedy. Jane Toombs’ cleverly crafts a story of passion, exploration, growth, and fortitude. Charis and Xenon’s story is riveting and thrilling to read.

Temple of Time: FORSAKEN is a fast-paced, non-stop read from the beginning to the startling climax. I hope Jane Toombs continues Charis and Xenon’s story.
