Product Description
Drawn from the dreaming spires of Oxford University to the misty moors and glens of Scotland, Lewis Gillies expects little more than a pleasant weekend away. But the road north leads to a mystical crossroads, and Lewis finds himself in a place where two worlds meet -- in the time-between times. The ancient Celts admitted no separation between the world and the Otherworld: the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other. In this first book, a breach has opened between these two worlds -- and cosmic catastrophe threatens.
From the Back Cover
In an ancient cairn in the wilds of Scotland, Oxford student Simon Rawson vanishes, seemingly into thin air. Where has he gone? Unsettling signs -- a mysterious Green Man, a Celtic circle chalked on the sidewalk -- point his roommate, Lewis Gillies, to an impossible answer . . . and an incredible destiny on the other side of a doorway between worlds. There, where Celtic champions, magic, and treachery weave the beautiful and brutal land called Albion, Lewis finds Simon. And there, schooled as a warrior, he is thrust to the front of a titanic struggle between light and darkness -- a hideous, onrushing darkness that would devour not merely a kingdom, but two worlds.
