Synopsis

Book 3 of the Inheritance Series - In Their Bloodied Footsteps Myths and modern reality collide as Josh's inheritance unravels his celtic heritage and his ancestral links to the fabled 12th Century Prince Madoc of Wales. The house he inherits Anglesey has revealed its dark secrets, his own links to the mysterious Secret Order of his ancestors exposed. A horrific abduction forces Josh to confronting a terrifying enemy from the celtic 'Otherworld. Josh must follow in the footsteps of the first Welsh explorers of America. It is a journey that will take him to America meeting up with the dormant members of the Dragon Society, following Madoc's Trail to the Mandan Indians and the site of Madoc's last stand. Glimpses of his past lives and the intervention of the Sons of Belial make this a journey like no other. Short extract: The broadsword captivated me. “The sword,” I mumbled, “it’s beautiful.” I ran my eyes up and down it, not daring to touch, lest it fall from the mannequin’s lifeless grasp. The sword was some four-foot high; the hilt a burnished a dark copper but it was the blade that seduced me: forged from a metal I had not seen before, dull-blue in colour, smooth at the edges but with a mottled, watermarked groove running the length of the blade. “I call it the Falls of Ohio Sword,” said the Louisville bookkeeper. “Of course, I realise it’s not from here originally, it’s Celtic… it came to these parts long before we modern Americans did.” His hand gripped my arm. “You know what I’m saying? It predates the Pilgrim Fathers by centuries… the sword is from the Lost Colonies. It lay in a cave, undiscovered for centuries until the War of Independence.” “The Lost Colonies?” I said. “Yes…” he whispered. His hooded eyes met mine and I knew he understood. Quote “Whoso desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution; whatsoever is now, was heretofore; and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.''” Sir Walter Raleigh Explorer, & Founder of first British colony in America. (1552-1681)
