On an archeological dig in a Scottish forest, college student Adam Parker unearths a mysterious metal artifact. But Professor Grayling, the dig coordinator, insists Adam must keep his discovery quiet. Because Grayling recognizes the amulet—and the strange creature depicted on it. It is a sign that Adam’s life is about to change forever.
Summoned to fulfil his destiny, Adam is introduced to a dark shadow world that exists alongside our own. An epic, unseen battle has been waged there for centuries. Now Adam must join the fray, and face the ultimate test. For within that shadow world lurks Rabanus Bloor, the man who has sworn to seek out Adam and destroy him—whatever it takes.
“Horror fans will certainly be entertained by the story, which will remind some of the works of Graham Masterton.” —Booklist

College student Adam Parker stumbles over a mysterious artifact during his first archaeological dig in the woods of Scotland. When Adam brings his discovery to Professor Grayling, the dig coordinator, Grayling appears to recognize the object and immediately asks Adam to keep quiet about it. Why is the professor keeping the find under wraps? Why is the artifact so inherently creepy? And what part will Adam and fellow student Jane Dobb play in Grayling’s scheme? Adam is soon bewildered by introductions to two competing secret societies, international intrigue, and a parallel world similar to our own. While Cottam (The Memory of Trees) has created a moderately appealing premise, the slow pace and tendency toward interior monologues make the story slog along painfully.
