Inheritance

In Their Bloodied Footsteps

Myth and modern reality collide as Josh's inheritance reveals his ancestral links to the fabled twelfth-century Welsh prince, Madoc.

The house on Anglesey has given up its dark secrets, and his place in the secret order of his ancestors is exposed. Then a horrific abduction forces Josh to confront a terrifying enemy from the Celtic Otherworld.

To face it, he must follow in the footsteps of the first Welsh explorers of America: across the continent to the dormant members of the Dragon Society, along Madoc's Trail to the Mandan people, and to the site of Madoc's last stand.

An extract

The broadsword captivated me. The hilt a burnished dark copper, but it was the blade that seduced me: forged from a metal I had not seen before, dull-blue in colour, 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.”

Sir Walter Raleigh
