Slater
Knowledge is dangerous. What Slater knows about the altar stone could prove fatal.
Slater is the son of Mason, but he will never be a chip off the old block. Although his father is responsible for Aveburgh henge, Slater is more interested in learning about the ceremonies held amongst the stones.

Torn from a solstice celebration into a real-life nightmare, Slater's talent for reading ley lines upsets dark forces.
Ancient magic pulls him back in time to reveal his connection to primeval secrets. There, he is teased by formidable priestesses who teach him the power of earth energies. Slater's ability to solve problems under pressure is his strongest weapon against terrifying shamen who want only one thing from him â€" his death.

Only Slater knows the prehistoric temples are not built correctly, but what will happen if he interferes in the past?

This swashbuckling romantic fantasy will appeal to fans of action-adventure, time-travel and the story behind Stonehenge.



Interview with the Author:
Q. What's this about a prequel series?
A. I'm so excited about this. Called Nature's tribe, these stories go right back to 14th Century England, when plagues and witch-hunts meant it was not a great time to be a midwife. Especially one using the magic of herbs and earth energy in her healing. But Senna is no ordinary woman, and when she befriends cousins Jarl and Lyran, something magical is set in place which has far-reaching ramifications.
The books so far are:
#1 - Three Handfastings and a Burial
#2 - Twelve Days of Yule
#3 - Eight Sabbats of the Sun New for February 2019!
But there are at least 3 more in the pipeline. Guess I know what 2019 is all about.

Q. How do the Hengist stories fit together?
A. It's a little different than many series, because each book features a different hero, allowing a glimpse into each of the main clans in this world.
Archer, the Warrior, introduces us to a world where teens experience jousting, sword-fighting and Beltane rituals instead of mobile phones, social media and reality TV.
Rory, the Anglecynn, is the only person who understands the way Archer thinks when he's sent to a different world on an information-gathering mission.
Reagan, the Magi, has to solve a DaVinci-style puzzle to figure out what is causing the increasingly dangerous accidents threatening his village.
Slater, the Outil, has more links to the magic rituals held at the henges than the stone-craft required to maintain them. Until he's torn back in time to watch them being built.
Geraint, the Renegate, hates his father's patriarchal ideals about trials and suffering, and is grateful when Siany finally brings some female energy into his life. But their pre-ordained meeting has far-reaching ramifications when everything they know and love is threatened by darkest Evil.

Q. So it's set in medieval times, then?
A. Not exactly, although you may think so as the people ride in horse-drawn carriages, have no electricity, and are governed by the seasons. Like in Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones.

Q. Do you need to have read all the previous stories to enjoy each one?
A. No. Each story stands alone, however there are a couple of references back to characters/action from previous books, with sufficient explanation to get the sense of what's going on. Archer makes an appearance in every book, but this can be a brief cameo all the way to hogging several chapters in the last one as all the characters join together to defeat the common enemy.
