THE RESOLUTION

The Temporal Scythe

Book cover of "The Temporal Scythe" by L.S. Franco, featuring a fiery clock in a dramatic sky above a silhouetted figure in a ravaged landscape, labeled as Book 3 in the Conjurer's Prophecy Trilogy.

The Conjurer’s Prophecy is a multi-POV dark science fiction series—clean and free of gore—that blends mythology and spirituality while exploring coming of age, character building, and the power of collective support and faith in the greater good, tackling sensitive teen topics like bullying, self-worth, suicidal thoughts, and relationships through diverse perspectives to guide readers through their most challenging moments.

In Book 3, The Temporal Scythe, the final battle between light and shadow unfolds. You will face dark magic practitioners as they burn down cities in their bid to rule the Megaverse, destroying everything and everyone on their path.

The last hope to restore the prophecy lies in the depths of Tartarus, on the Temporal Scythe itself. The gatekeeper? Chronos, the god of time. Tipped off by a not-so-friendly whistleblower, Liam and his friends navigate the Red Sun Desert in search of answers on how to tame the Leviathan—the only bridge to the underworld.

As the boundaries between good and evil blur, you will wonder who is on the right side.
