From the shadows of history comes the darkest of secrets …
A.D. 997. When a bishop arrives at an Irish monastery to accuse a senior monk of heresy, twenty-year-old scribe Ciarán discovers the man who raised him like a father may burn at the stake.
His crime? Concealing a journal that warns of a prophecy tied to the Book of Enoch, a book of the Bible thought to be lost long ago. The book supposedly speaks of Enoch’s Device – a weapon deployed in the original war between Heaven and Hell.
A weapon both sides now desire.
Ciarán and his mentor flee to Paris. There, clues to the book’s whereabouts lead to a young woman from a noble house in Aquitaine. But the bishop is coming for her too, and this time he’s bringing an army.
With the prophecy in motion, time to find the device is running out. Though in a race between the forces of Heaven and Hell, can any mortal survive?
The war in Heaven brought Hell to Earth.
A.D. 998. In a forbidden book, young scribe Brother Ciarán discovers an ominous prophecy – one tied to the book of Revelation and the first battle between St. Michael and the Dragon.
At the end of a thousand years, the Dragon will be released from his prison. Ciarán learns this event is cyclical, repeating at the end of each millennium. It allows the Dragon and his servants a chance to free fallen angels and bring about the End of Days.
Unless a champion can stop them.
Pursuit of the prophecy, however, comes at a terrible price. Only two of Ciarán’s four companions survive to join the quest: a young widow with visions of the distant past and a Moorish poet whose gift with words is rivaled only by his skill with a sword.
Together, the trio must find a legendary artifact, one that could turn the tide of this conflict.
But the Dragon has his own champion searching for the relic. And if he must, he’ll raise half of Hell to find it…
Some call it Ragnarok. Others call it Armageddon. And it’s already begun…
A.D. 999, Rome. Deep within the shrouded papal archives, Ciarán, a monk-turned-warrior, unravels the final verse of a cryptic prophecy. The foretelling concerns the battle between the Dragon and the archangels from the book of Revelation – a war that threatens to reignite on Earth.
For after a thousand years, the Dragon has been freed from his infernal prison. But this time, there are no archangels to help defeat him.
Ciarán uncovers a flicker of hope in an unlikely savior: a young, orphaned girl whose prophetic visions could guide them to victory. Though shadowy forces are converging – a relentless bishop with a penchant for hunting sorceresses and the Dragon’s own supernatural servants – all seeking to extinguish this last glimmer of light.
To protect her, Ciarán and his unlikely band of allies must embark on a perilous journey to the fabled city of Constantinople and beyond the known world, where the final conflict awaits.
But in the face of overwhelming odds, the question lingers: Can any mortal stand against the original dark lord – the Dragon, the Enemy of God?
What Terrors Await on Witches’ Night?
A.D. 775—In the Saxon village of Ellryk, a sinister secret lurks, threatening the lives of three young women. Maugis d’Aygremont, a paladin of Charlemagne and master of the arcane arts, is determined to save them.
As Hexennacht—Witches’ Night—approaches, fear grips the village. On that night, Hela descends from the mountain to claim her sacrifice. Legend says she is Loki’s daughter, the goddess of the dead, a being half human and half corpse-like, riding in on a wave of fog.
But is there more to her origin than the old tales suggest?
Maugis must uncover the truth behind Hela’s existence before time runs out, for the fate of the women—and the entire village—depends on it.
His quest was secret. His enemy was waiting …
To the kingdom, Maugis is the Count of Aygremont and a trusted paladin of Charlemagne. Secretly, he’s the apprentice of a powerful Fae sorceress, the guardian of a hidden truth that could alter the course of history.
When his mentor sends him to retrieve a relic vital to her plans, Maugis enlists fellow paladins Turpin, Bradamante, and the legendary Roland for a mission no one else is meant to know about.
Or so they believed, until the demon appeared.
As deadly as it is, the greater threat lies with whoever summoned the creature – and how they learned of the secret quest. Could there be a spy within Charlemagne’s court? Or has an enemy emerged from Maugis’ past, where the Fae murdered his father and pitted brother against brother in a deadly contest?
Yet each truth uncovered reveals another secret – each one darker and deadlier than before.
Some secrets of the Fae were never meant to be uncovered …
The Otherworld is full of hidden truths, and Maugis d’Aygremont — chief counsellor to Charlemagne and master of the arcane arts — must lead three paladins into Avalon to steal a relic from the age of Merlin and Arthur.
But the Lady of the Lake does not easily surrender her treasures. When the mission descends into chaos, Maugis is forced to confront secrets buried in both Avalon and Rosefleur – secrets tied to Angelica, the woman he loved.
All paths lead to one name: Morgain, a sorceress of Avalon whose ancient power helped shape the fall of Camelot. She needs Angelica for a purpose she refuses to reveal, and uncovering it could destroy everything Maugis once cherished.
To save his companions in the present – and understand what happened to Angelica in the past – Maugis must unravel Morgain’s design, even if the truth threatens to shatter the life he has left.
A prophet awakens. A demon rises. And one paladin stands between them.
Three centuries before Charlemagne’s reign, Merlin the Prophet foresaw a king who would forge an empire to lift Europe from the Dark Ages. But darkness is not easily defeated, and a demon lord is determined to end the prophecy before it begins.
The fate of it all rests with Maugis d’Aygremont, one of Charlemagne’s paladins, held captive in Avalon by the Lady of the Lake. Three fellow paladins race to save him, aided by an unexpected ally: Merlin himself, who knows the Lady’s wrath all too well.
The keys to salvation lie in the past, some in the age of Camelot, others in Verona during Charlemagne’s siege. Verona marked Maugis’ darkest days, and if he hopes to preserve the prophecy, he must confront demons both within and from the depths of hell.
Yet the darkest truth of Verona has not revealed itself – and when it does, both the prophecy and Maugis may be lost forever.
The promise of gold lures an Irish chieftain and Mava, his strong-willed wife, to an ancient ringfort. But when a banshee’s cry echoes from the ruins, they are warned to turn back. Or at least one of them is going to die.
