The Islevale Cycle brings time travel into David B. Coe’s fantasy writing. Time’s Children (2018) introduces a world where certain people, called walkers, can move through time, though doing so ages or de-ages their bodies. The protagonist is a young walker tasked with protecting a sovereign, and the story follows him through the consequences of his temporal journeys.
Time’s Demon (2019) and Time’s Assassin (2020) continue the story, raising the stakes as enemies also gain access to time-walking abilities. The series combines the political intrigue of Coe’s earlier fantasy work with a time-travel mechanic that adds new layers of complication.
