The Temporal Scythe

L.S. Franco

In the depths of the Underworld, a search for Tartarus. A fight for survival, rather than for justice. Betrayal, bravery, and Doomsday.

In The Temporal Scythe, the final battle between light and shadow unfolds. Dark Magic practitioners burn down cities and attack the Dismay Bastions in their bid to rule the Megaverse.

The last hope to fix the prophecy lies in the depths of Tartarus, on the Temporal Scythe itself. The gatekeeper? Chronos, the god of time. Tipped off by a dark-magic whistleblower, Liam and his friends navigate the Red Sun Desert, hoping to learn how to tame the Leviathan.

While some defend and others attack, the war intensifies—and the boundaries between good and evil begin to blur. Who is truly on the right side?

He fought for the light. You’ll wonder who cast the shadows.

A cinematic, fast-paced sci-fi & fantasy trilogy for readers who crave layered worldbuilding, intelligent dialogue, and emotionally complex characters.

Narrated through multiple points of view and designed for older teens and crossover adult readers.
