Description

"The Dark Thorn is one exciting book. From start to finish, there are
strong characters, dangers lurking around every corner and cliffhangers
that will leave you breathless. A fine tale by a talented writer." --
Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of The Sword of Shannara

Beneath the streets of Seattle, a long-forgotten war is about to be renewed...

Richard
McAllister, a spiritually destitute homeless man and Knight of the Yn
Saith, protects one of seven portals linking his world to that of Annwn,
where the fey Tuatha de Dannan of antiquity have been relegated by a
long-running religious war.

Unknown to Richard though, powerful
forces are aligning against him and all he stands to keep safe. In the
wilds of a discarded world, Philip Plantagenet, son of Henry II, moves
to claim a birthright nine centuries in the making, one that drives him
to eliminate the Tuatha de Dannan--at any cost to both worlds.

In
the halls of Vatican City, Cardinal Vicar Cormac Pell O'Connor schemes
to control the Heliwr--the Unfettered Knight--one who possesses the great
power known as the Dark Thorn.

The three men are on a collision course with history--and their futures.

For in the wilds of Annwn, death comes as easily as magic.

Haunted
by a past he can't forget and a knightly responsibility he can't shun,
Richard is drawn into levels of machinations--and two worlds--far darker
than any he has prepared for.
