Time Holders: The World of Balance

Aldrus Dagon was born into an ordinary family, so he was never meant to possess a Fragment. But somehow, he does—and with it comes the rare ability to manipulate time.

The gift sounds incredible, until he discovers its fatal flaw. While his power gives his mind limitless potential, his weak body can't keep up, leaving him unable to use that power to its fullest.

As if that wasn't enough, Aldrus begins having strange dreams filled with memories from a forgotten past, raising questions no one seems able to answer.

Determined to uncover the truth, he sets his sights on Rowy's Academy, where only a handful of gifted students are chosen to become Heroes and venture into the deadly lands beyond the continent.

The problem?

Someone like Aldrus shouldn't even stand a chance of getting in.

With his broken powers, fragile body, and mysterious past, he'll have to fight for every bit of strength he gains. But as ancient secrets, forgotten kingdoms, powerful gods, terrifying monsters, and looming wars come to light, Aldrus may discover that his greatest weakness is also the key to changing the future.

A slow-burn fantasy adventure featuring steady character growth, a strategic time magic system, academy life, epic battles, rich world-building, and romance with no harem.
