A way out of the "was the war that recent" issue might be to asume Summer's sacrifice averted, rather than won, the last war. That perhaps assumes some sort of mechanism behind the darkness wars, which is speculation, but it's really an alternative to date-guessing.

Kinda like a spare wheel variantion.
