After a long journey across the ages, Jack Churchill has returned to the modern world, only to find it in the grip of a terrible, dark force. The population is unaware, mesmerised by the Mundane Spell that keeps them in thrall. With a small group of trusted allies, Jack sets out to find the two 'keys' that can shatter the spell. But the keys are people - one with the power of creation, one the power of destruction - and they are hidden somewhere among the world's billions. As the search fans out across the globe, ancient powers begin to stir. In the bleak North, in Egypt, in Greece, in all the Great Dominions, the old gods are returning to stake their claim. The odds appear insurmountable, the need desperate ...This is a time for heroes.

Industry Reviews

'Conjures up the horror of this harsh new world brilliantly . . . the answer to the prayers of all those who've been moaning about by-the-numbers fantasy' [SFX] 'A sumptuous feast of fairytale, magic, dark gothic horror and romance' [THE TIMES] 'A contemporary bard, a post-industrial Taliesin whose visionary novels are crammed with remixed mythologies, oneiric set-pieces, potent symbols, unsettling imagery and an engaging fusion of genre elements . . . distinguished by breakneck but brilliantly controlled plots, meticulous research, deft characterisation and a crisp, accessible prose style' [ZONE-SF.COM] 'Reminiscent of Alan Garner (the highest compliment I can pay to someone working in this mythic mode)' [SFSITE.COM]
