About This Book

A collection of mythic vignettes set in dreamlike lands where gods, their servant Time, and mortal figures interact across moments of creation, loss, and destiny. Stories move from cosmogonic episodes such as the coming of the sea and the fall of a marble city to shorter parables about divine caprice, human vengeance, prophetic visions, and a symbolic royal journey. The prose pairs ornate, lyrical description with spare, melancholic scenes, repeatedly considering the fragility of civilizations, the fleeting authority of deities, and the uneasy relationship between eternal designs and Time's autonomous force.
