History was written with our blood. What then of our dreams?
– Our Legacy, by Dael ap Owain

And Earth wept.

Some claim a legacy, once sworn and attested, shall last as long as memory binds it to the living. Others hold, the need for the living is moot. A legacy thus sworn binds the very soul to its course. Binds it into eternity if necessary.
Amidst the ashes and ruin of invasion, with his world crushed beneath the iron heel of the Krîll legions, Earth's last druid swears an oath to lead humanity's salvation.
And so is born the age of Dael's Legacy.

A desperate remnant of humanity holds fast. High amongst the windswept crags of Cymru (Wales), where once the druids worshiped their gods, they prepare to leave earth and all they know. They follow the last druid across the maelstrom divide of space and time to the heart of their destruction, to Krîl-lôc.

It is the year 462 anno Domini and the Roman Empire lies in bloody ruin beneath the Krîll legions’ steel. Indeed across the whole of Terra, verdant mother to mankind, the earth cries for her dead. Hope lies in ashes. And yet . . .

Dael ap Owain: mystic, warrior, sorcerer and seer, raised by druids, trained by Myrddin, and barely returned alive from the mystery-shrouded Cloud Kingdoms beyond the Eastern horizon. Now in command of eldritch powers long lost to the Western World, he will match himself against Drägorîsh, High Shaman to the Krîll Empire. Here he begins his fight to undo the horror unleashed across Terra, and mankind’s very existence rests in the balance of Dael’s gambit.

Bound within a prophesy’s doom, this is a tale of two ages, the pledge that spans them, and of two worlds woven tightly into a legacy’s tapestry. A legacy wrought in love and desperate hope, in sacrifice and courage against the ruin of despair.

About the Author:

Growing up an Army brat offered a unique view of our world. From Denmark, Britain, Germany and points between, the weight of our past stood writ in stone as much as the history books. Castles, cathedrals, bridges and watchtowers all spoke to the lives and ambitions of their builders; and in their ruins, to their deaths.

It was in such ancient ground that my imagination found a lifelong fascination with our past. And foremost amongst all the tales told in the rock and stone, the rusted steel and bone of history, Rome it was that captured my young soul.

Still captured, though no longer quite so young, I owe much to those who have fed my dreams, who have nurtured that wonderful exercise of the imagination – But what if? – over the years. To writers such as Frank Herbert, Steven Erikson, J.R. Tolkien, and Dorothy Dunnett who have shown us to what heights a good tale can soar. But, oh . . . the list goes on and on, doesn’t it?

Life is a surprising adventure we are but flung into, full of twists and turns unforeseen, choices made for ill or good. But in the end, a gift we hold dear. My own included. I write from prison. A choice ill made these many years past. But I write. And that is a gift. Besides writing, I am a musician, father and grandfather, and count myself graced with some few friends. All food for the soul.
