THE CORNOVII MYSTERY
Book I of The Alba Mysteries​
​
An epic tale of mystery and magic woven into Britain’s ancient past.
Britain, first century AD and the Roman army probes deeper into the central lands of Cornovii territory. The old ways are threatened but not everyone fears change. Power and wealth corrupts those who would welcome Imperial rule and they will stop at nothing to achieve it, including murder.
A powerful organisation hides behind the Roman empire planning a new world order. Ruthless, they connive with Briton and Roman alike, but death awaits those who fail or stand in their way.
When a tribal elder of the Cornovii is brutally killed, suspicion falls on the Imperial invaders.
Alba, warrior mage of the Cornovii, must find the killer, but a mysterious sorcerer, hired assassins and the Roman army are soon in pursuit.​
A SHROUD OF SORCERY
Book II of The Alba Mysteries
​
“In all the legends the child is taken and trained in the magickal arts. Seldom do they return.”
​
The Organisation, the hidden overlords of Imperial rule, deploy a new asset to encourage the barbarian Cornovii tribe to turn to Rome for their protection. A series of brutal murders follow where victims bear witness to ritual magick and sorcery.
​
Cornovii warrior mage Alba must uncover an adversary who has deep knowledge of the dark arts, perhaps exceeding his own. Their identity is a mystery reaching into the most ancient myths of the craft. The killer uses illusion to subjugate their victims and soon Alba finds himself battling elemental entities, hexes and even traps laid in the dreamworld.
​
Set in the mysterious landscape of ancient Britain amongst stone circles, hillforts and rock caves, A Shroud of Sorcery takes the reader into the mists of another time where magick, old enemies and a secret organisation will determine the future of not only a tribe but an entire country.
