The Reconstructions can be regarded as a fantasy or a kind of Science Fiction story set in a very distant past, as a fictionalized account of historical events in European history presented as if taking place in an ahistorical oriental setting, or it can be thought of as both a story and a history but one that occurs in a timeless world. The author of this narrative is part of the fantasy. He is an aged historian assisted by other scholars of the period. Their sources are primarily fragments of ancient writings and ballad materials, many discovered in remote parts of India. These are used to reconstruct the history of a diverse people, remote in time, who occupied a world divided into seven realms ruled by The Great Khan who lives in the Castle at Worldsend. The story begins when the Khan's son, Krishna, leaves the castle against his father's wishes and begins a new life in a world of turmoil and danger.
