The Temporal Trial

In the shadowed aisles of a London occult bookshop, Alex Rivera finally finds the grimoire that answers his lifelong hunger for real magic. But when Hecate, Goddess of Witches, steps from the mirror to offer him power, the price is steep: a perilous trial across nine thousand years.

Transported to ancient Egypt in 6990 B.C., Alex awakens as a sixteen-year-old boy beside an identical twin brother—Liam—forged by divine will, bound by telepathy, and erased from the modern world. Their father is the clan leader, their mother's honey-drizzled cakes still warm in memory, but the timeline demands they live every brutal, beautiful day without altering history.

Pursued across millennia by vengeful raiders who slaughtered their family, the brothers master illusion, remote sight, and the living reeds of the Nile itself. They witness the rise of pharaohs, the fall of empires, the birth of cities that will one day become New York—always running, always hiding, always protecting the fragile thread of time.

Nine thousand years later, on the exact night it began, they return to the same Bloomsbury hotel room. Hecate awaits. The trial is complete.

Now true witches, truly immortal, Alex and Liam step into a present where every grimoire they once dismissed as fantasy pulses with living power.

Some hungers are never sated.Some trials forge eternity.

The Temporal TrialA breathtaking blend of urban fantasy, historical epic, and mythic brotherhood—where survival is the ultimate spell, and revenge is written in reeds and blood.
