MAIN CHARACTERS

MARA LLAVE

Mara Llave, our protagonist, is slowly unraveling her true destiny as the last keeper of time. But she’s learning on the job, sometimes getting hurtled from era to era while trying to maintain the timestream. Relying on her mentor, Gordin, and her wits, Mara tries to navigate the wilds of time.

KENT GORDIN

Kent Gordin was once part of a great league of heroes dedicated to keeping the timestream intact. But in the wake of “The Great Schism,” he sees the ranks of his brotherhood dwindling away. Now, tasked with mentoring the last of his kind and with his own powers waning, Gordin must ensure that Mara is up to the task of protecting, well, everything—while he watches his own life slip away.
