The Shadow Lands trilogy is an entirely original re-working of the Arthurian Tale - the continuation of the legend of the Celtic Warlord who fought the Saxons in the 5th/6th Century. This is the tale of Arthur’s return at the hour of Britain’s greatest need and it is set in a future, thousands of years after a catastrophic event, where the world no longer revolves on its axis and where summer is six months of daylight, and winter six months of darkness. This cataclysmic event released Merdynn from his captivity and he gathered the few survivors together and started to reform the world as he had previously known it. Everything that we are familiar with in the modern world was lost in the disaster and the vastly reduced population now live much as people did in Dark Age Britain, and the ruins of ancient cities are no more to them than the evidence of ancient myths. The first book, Shadow Lands, begins in Branque, a village across the Causeway, as they prepare for the annual migration to escape from the coming darkness of winter. No one is yet aware that a deeper darkness is encroaching from the East.
