This is the origin story of Father Time and the world in which he lived - 21st century Earth.
Seventeen year old homeless orphan Rolland Wright is plucked from his otherwise obscure, if not unlucky life when a bookstore fire forces him to assume the role of hero in a life or death situation, resulting in the startling discovery of his own time travel powers, a secret paradise known as Eden, an elite group of warriors (the Knights of Time) sworn to protect the time stream from evil, and the truth behind a family secret that sends him nearly two hundred years into the past to prevent a murder.
Rolland Wright takes his first steps to becoming the legendary figure Father Time in the first installment of the Tale of Time series; Time is Relative for a Knight of Time.

Fire quickly engulfed the limestone building that locals had
come to call the White House, forcing the frantic women out the large front
doors and into the wide-open marshland beyond the carefully manicured grounds.
The night air hit Dolley’s skin with a damp unevenness that made every hair on
the back of her neck stand on end. Looking over to Hannah, she saw her own terrified
expression mirrored on the young girl’s face, watching as the girl gazed out
into the darkness of the tree line. There, in the light of the blazing White
House, stood a man so still the trees themselves surpassed him for movement.
The dark figure walked towards them, seemingly impervious to
the chaos that surrounded the nation’s capital, the shadows and light from the
inferno behind them dancing across him. As he neared, they saw that he was an
older man with bits of silver streaking through the black mass of hair sitting
atop his slim and polished frame. He was
dressed in a dark crimson sweater vest over a pressed long-sleeved button down
shirt, and what looked to be crisp and freshly tailored pantaloons.
“Good evening, Lady Madison,” said the man, pausing for a
moment to bow to her before continuing in their direction. His face was
expressionless, eyes mimicking the darkness of the night around him. The man
was not especially scary looking, especially in his elegant dressings. Still,
there was an aura to him that spoke to the survival instincts within the two
women, evoking impressions of jackals – sharp teeth, claws, and minds.
