Lost Hope (TB05)

Lost Hope

Book 5 of the Thrice Born Collection

Lost Hope is an expansive collection of events that lead up to the climactic, five-book account of the War to Liberate Terantis. It includes vital diplomatic missions and vastly important character relationships that propel the events in the following books. Much of Lost Hope establishes the "where did this come from" or "what is that all about" that grounds the action in the war.

During the timespan of Lost Hope, raising an army consumes those with Edwin while the Resistance in Terantis tries to hold on. Meanwhile, the Dark Council is impatient to see the lost heir eliminated. They spare no effort to see Edwin prevented from ever arriving in Terantis.

A lot is going on throughout Lost Hope, as the events within the character's lives leads them toward inevitable conflict with the Dark Council. However and notably, the action sections of this timeline are generally brief and focused, each covering a compact collection of events and dialog.

In the Lost Hope timeline, the location maps are linked to a "@" for each action section. Links to the action sections are, further, color coded to indicate the plot stream that section deals with.

The layout on the web version for Book 5 is somewhat like Book 4, but on the mobile version the links are simply lined up with the date. This, in Book 6 through Book 10, prevents a nightmare of trying to align action streams. On the web version, the action scenes align roughly with left being to the north and right being to the south.
