A Grim Dread Rises

It’s Magic!

“Dismayed at our neglect of his planet, a mystical Earth Emperor challenges humanity to a chilling game of ‘Live or Let Die’. However, if the cursed and insidious Grim Dread has its way there will be only one outcome – the demise of the animal kingdom.

Thankfully, Mother Nature has her allies, including aspiring Earth Champion, Ben Whittenbury, his psychic wife, Julia, and their secretive daughter, Sarah.  Bewitched by a two hundred year old painting, the Whittenbury’s seek sanctuary from the modern world in a remote cottage in rural Hertfordshire, England.  But their tranquillity is short-lived for the spirit world comes calling with haunting messages linked to the quill of Charles Lamb, a tragic British writer from the 19th century, and his talented companions in the remarkable ‘Blakesware Set’. Together, they concoct one-hundred eclectic questions about life, unknowingly igniting a mysterious countdown adventure against the clock.

As the Whittenbury’s become embroiled in an enchanted quest, love, it seems, knows no boundaries. Does truth lie amid local myth or hide deep in the hearts of close neighbours? And what’s to be made of mystical carvings within ancient Royston Cave and the arrival of a maverick dog who serves as the ‘voice of the animal kingdom’?”

This is far from a typical dystopian environmental novel. It’s a haunting and mysterious epic. A mildly controversial, but inspirational adventure of love and betrayal spanning two centuries.  Contains some moderate scenes of violence and sexual content.”
