In the world of Malku, the clans of faes, merfolk, and ordinary landfolk live in a tenuous harmony. Oftentimes, one clan will war against another. Fae against mer, fae against landfolk, landfolk against mer. Because the Malku world contains many regions, nations, land masses, and islands, the relationship between these clans differ from region to region. There is also a variety of religions, races, and classes which also complicate the relationships of individuals and societies.
The annals of Malku are historical lore from many different regions; written in different languages, by different scribes, for varied purposes. To warn, to instruct, to explain. They contain the wisdom, romances, and tales of the kings, priests, and commonfolk of all those that dwell in Malku lands.
The stories in this volume come from several countries in Malku. The primary story, Turn Back O Time, is a novella which tells the story of how Prince Eirik and the fae warred against the aristocrats of that land. Other stories include the story of how the fae prince Flight saved his god-daughter from a wrongful marriage, the tale of a betrayed mermaid in The Girl in the Dim, and the story of the beginnings of the DragonFly Islands.
This book is part of a series which will include other annals such as the tales of SeaWalker, The Charcoal Bride, and Who Gave Sleep and Who Has Taken It Away?, a novel set in a more modern Malku world.
