On Halloween eve, a frightening encounter with mysterious creatures transports twenty-year old Thomas McCadden to an unknown and ancient world—7thcentury Britain. How did he get there? What does he do now? The answers to these questions change his life forever, revealing secrets that have long been hidden, and a truth that he would rather not know. As he tries to survive this long-ago time, Thomas encounters the unknown and the otherworldly; an exiled warrior, holy men, tribal kings, and something far more sinister shadowing them all.

 

Is he a tool for the dark forces of this land? Or the liberator sent to save them all? His strange journey forces these and even more important questions: Can he make it back home? Does he even want to return?

The Traveller's Path

Wilding: Book One of The Traveller's Path

The story begun in Wilding: Book One of the Traveller’s Path, continues!

A young man’s shadowed destiny leads him to the past, and could change our world forever….

Seventh century Northumbria is a long way from home for Thomas McCadden, a young man from the present day. Having discovered he is a Fey Traveller with wild and untamed powers, Thomas must now deal with an even more unexpected surprise: his father has returned to his life.

Thomas thought Matthew McCadden died eleven years ago. But he has suddenly arrived in this ancient world—and he is not alone. Pursued in a Wild Hunt by the menacing, time-riding Alder King, Matthew brings danger with him, and more questions than answers.

Why did he disappear, all those years ago? Why did he keep their Fey lineage secret? What are the strange forces that brought them together in this turbulent time? Can Thomas master his untamed powers and save those he loves, both now and in his time?

The long shadows of this age hold these and many more questions. Evil abounds, uneasy truces are forged, and the ever-sinister Wulfram plots still, his raven-eyes everywhere.

A shocking event propels Thomas to his most painful challenge yet, one with profound implications.

Can he cut the ties that keep him in this time? Or will he be bound there for good?

Bound: Book Two of The Traveller's Path

A young man’s shadowed destiny leads him to the past… where he could change our world forever. 

Thomas McCadden is caught in a time not his own, swept away by forces he struggles to understand. HIs encounter with the diabolical Traveller, Wulfram, left Thomas Bound by Fey power to a slave boy. His tenuous acceptance in both the Seelie Court and King Oswy’s hall in Bebbanburg is being eroded by whispers and lies spread by Wulfram’s agents.

Yet Thomas’ task remains: to stop Wulfram from twisting history to bring about the supremacy of the Fey. But time is running out, and his friends are falling away. 

The final chapter in The Traveller’s Path trilogy throws Thomas deeper into the world of 7th-century Northumbria and its dangerous clash of kings and cultures. And deeper into the shadowy world of the Fey, who think nothing of exploiting Thomas and his wilding Fey power for their own advantage. 

Thomas will lose all that he holds dear and history will be irrevocably altered unless he can thwart Wulfram’s scheme. 

The only option remaining is a wild gamble which reveals an impossible choice: save the world at a terrible cost or sweep away all that is good. 

The mist is rising, and evil is growing. The choice awaits.
