A seer journeys to the Heart of the World in this Neolithic Adventure. Betrayed, injured, and exiled, Weyllan must fulfil his destiny and change the course of history.This is the saga of the Amesbury Archer, prehistoric goldsmith and mystic, an eye-witness account of the dawn of the Bronze Age in Britain. Weyllan, a seer (shaman), is called to the Temple on the Plain - Stonehenge - to find a way to make the life-force flow through it again, but his quest to solve the mystery of his grandfather's disappearance proves more dangerous still. As his power grows, so his foes become more fearsome, until he risks everything in a final battle to restore balance to the land. He battles malicious spirits and demonic creatures determined to end his life, but Weyllan is a powerful visionary blessed by sun and moon and seems ready to face them all.This story is part adventure, part mystery, and part biography of a man who must have been a legend in his lifetime. It paints as accurate a picture of life in Britain at the end of the Neolithic as you will find anywhere. A sprawling saga of a time when spirits and magic were a part of daily life, a time of rapidly changing politics, religion and technology, told through the eyes of the extraordinary people who witnessed it all as the world around them changed forever. If you enjoy the 'Earth's Children' sagas of Jean M. Auel, or the Egyptian 'Stone of Light' adventures of Christian Jacq, this should be your next read!
