The Fourth Level – Book 16 – Contingent

Contingent

Diana Cambridge and Tristan Merrick have set their lives at a change of course, but as the time ticks, Tristan’s anxieties are mixed with uncertainty of the future ahead of him. When Charlemagne invites the couple to the manor, they announce the changes in their lives to a troubled Charlemagne who reveals the magnum opus of his innovations: a device he believes can take him into the future.

However, the completion of this long-time project is not what troubles Charlemagne as the couple soon find out when their guardian quietly leaves them in order to correct the mistakes of his past, which has resulted in close friends of theirs, or family really, to have wandered into the time machine and become lost in a different world to their own. Diana and Tristan instantly go after Charlemagne, but only for themselves to become lost in a different world where they are forced to confront the issues at hand, which for Tristan, takes the form of confronting his own demons, himself, and then evil itself in order to become the man that he needs to be in order to save Diana, his family, and all those that he loves.

The Fourth Level – Book 14 – Evolution

The end of summer is nigh and it is time for Diana Cambridge and Tristan Merrick to return from Isla Paraiso and come to their new home in the City of Harlech, where they are set to begin their first semester at university.

However, this change of scenery, livelihood, and environment unsettles both Diana and Tristan, who grow distant from each other. The changes are most dire within Tristan whose unstable psyche grows increasingly to a tipping point as all that he thought he knew, hoped, and dreamed becomes fantasy, and the weight of responsibility and expectation become too much on him. These changes are more subtle for Diana, but she holds steady as she comes closer to her Christian faith, but even the sanctity of the Church is not free from the subversion of evil and she comes under as well.

Will Diana and Tristan’s relationship hold steady in the face of this inevitable storm, or is this the end of the couple? Can anyone save them, or were they doomed from the start? Will they be able to adapt to the changes and overcome the darkness ahead…?

The Fourth Level – Book 11 – Advent

Advent

In the aftermath of the last adventure, only Tristan Merrick is certain of what had occurred to be true, while Charlemagne de la Cabernet and Diana Cambridge are less certain. Nonetheless, in an effort to come to an understanding in what really happened last Halloween, Charlemagne and the kids attend psychotherapy sessions at the local hospital.

However, when Tristan suddenly recalls a traumatic memory from his early childhood during one of these sessions, he quickly becomes obsessed as he starts to question his family origins and where he came from. This obsession takes him and Diana on their own adventure in the form of a road trip as Tristan pursues the truth in who he is and who his parents were, seeking to come home. Meanwhile, Charlemagne as well as other parties chase after Tristan as he recklessly abandons the safety of Allabrese to learn what he wants to know about himself.

Who were Tristan’s parents? Is this memory real, or a stain from the last adventure? To what extent will Tristan’s emotions drive him in this obsessive journey sourced on a whim, and likewise, to what extent will Diana’s emotions exhaust as she stays loyal to Tristan in this seemingly crazed state…?
