The Ancient Future Trilogy is a series of fantasy/sci-fi novels by Traci Harding, featuring numerous elements from Celtic mythology and (later in the trilogy) Mesopotamian myth.Tory Alexander, an Australian martial-artist and musician, is travelling through Wales in the 1990s when a stopover by a stone circle in the wilderness results in her being unexpectedly flung backwards through time to 519 AD. Moments later, she makes the acquaintance of Prince Maelgwn, heir to the throne of Gwynedd, and manages to impress him by beating his champion in hand-to-hand combat. Welcomed into the prince's entourage, she finds herself gaining influence at court through her knowledge of history, knowledge of martial arts, and 20th-century technology - gradually altering the course of history.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })However, it soon becomes clear that Tory's arrival in Dark Age Gwynedd was not unforeseen: her journey through time was orchestrated by none other than Taliesin, the legendary prophet and wizard of Maelgwn's court, in order to change history for the better. As time passes and history drifts further off-course, Tory and her allies soon find themselves pitted not only against rival kingdoms and Saxon raiders, but against more supernatural threats trying to block Taliesin's plans for a better future, leading Tory on an escalating journey through history: to the 20th century, to the golden age of Atlantis, to the not-too-distant future, and into distant space.Books in this series include: The Ancient Future: The Dark Age (1996) An Echo In Time: Atlantis Masters Of Reality: The Gathering This Present Past (prequel novel, 2018)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Fatal Flaw: Tory has a tendency to get complacent when she feels victorious, leaving herself open to threats or failing to pay attention to early warning signs. Early in the first book, this tendency results in her getting slugged in the cheek by Brockwell during their introductory duel (though she recoups and wins anyway). Later, she also fails to heed the prophetic dreams or notice that Teo is behaving distinctly out of character. The former results in her being captured by Cadogan and losing her baby to Mahaud; the latter results in her being blindsided when Teo turns out to be possessed by Mahaud and takes Naomi hostage. Maelgwn is notably stubborn, quick to anger, and more than a little jealousy-prone, resulting in numerous arguments with Tory, Taliesin, Brockwell, and other characters across the trilogy. In the second book, this allows Mahaud to get influence over Maelgwn after it's made to look as if Tory and Taliesin have betrayed him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
