Shoestring Theory

What if a single choice could change everything?
The kingdom of Farsala lies in ruins, and dark clouds stretch across the drought-stricken land. In a lonesome hut by the sea, Cyril Laverre, former Grand Mage at the court, carries a heavy burden on his shoulders. As King Eufrates Margrave's husband and magical advisor, Cyril did nothing to stop his lover's descent into paranoia, violence, and madness. When Cyril's loyal cat-familiar, Shoestring, vanishes and dies, he realizes that his time is running out. But with the little strength he has left, he decides to make one last attempt to right the wrongs of the past. A dangerous and powerful time spell sends him back to a time when Farsala still flourished – a time when Eufrates' older sister Tigris was the heir to the throne, and when Cyril and Eufrates' love had yet to begin to wither. < wpml_linebreak >
Cyril's mission is clear: prevent Eufrates from becoming king and thus save both the kingdom and the man he still loves. Shoestring Theory is a captivating tale of the strength of love, the complexity of time, and the hope for reconciliation. With a love story filled with both sparks and divisions, this edition is perfect for readers who love magical realism with humor and heartfelt warmth.
