The Alchimeia Series
A masterful blend of fantasy with historical fiction in the vein of Wesley Chu’s TIME SALVAGER and Stephen King’s 11.22.63, except in this case, dying to save the future one page at a time. Love it!

DIE BACK: Book I of the Alchimeia
By Richard Hacker
To save the future he must die in the past, and as often as possible.
Six hundred years after a fifteenth century scryer gains the alchemical knowledge to create a dark future in his own image, Addison Shaw inherits a destiny: to fight this ancient war that threatens all he loves with extinction. Using an alchemical pen, he writes himself into past lives, leaving his body in the present. Upon completion of his mission, he must die in order to break the link and return home. While his enemy, Kairos, plays a three-dimensional chess game across the centuries, with each ‘Inking’, Addison’s world shifts further into chaos. From ancient Alexandria to modern Tokyo, Addison and his fellow Inker, Jules, fight a time war against Kairos. After Jules is murdered in the present and her consciousness trapped in an Inca princess five hundred years in the past, Addison, alone and close to defeat, realizes that the only way to save his world is to destroy it.
