The Dreamwords Series

Book One:

A boy awakes in the wilderness. He has blood on his hands from events he cannot recall. Half dead, he stumbles on a remote cottage and is rescued by a man and his beautiful young companion, Katriana. Following an accident, the three are trapped in the cottage by a storm where it becomes clear that the relationship between the man and the girl does not match their story. But the boy has his own problems. Plagued by visions of the past and the dead, he begins to uncover his memories - memories of a time too old to be his.

And, as that sad age reaches out to infect their lives, the brutal treatment by a father who lived a hundred and fifty years ago becomes more than the cruel memory it appears to be. In another time, a son and a daughter feared the sound of his step - and a mother for the lives of them all. And when the brutality of the past is upon them, the terror in his head becomes more than his own private hell.

 

Book Two:

Born with a terrible birthmark on his face, Jack Burns is shunned from his first day at school and stared at as he walks alone through the streets of his home town Edinburgh. When he discovers a book fused with the cliff beneath Edinburgh Castle, he is thrown into the media spotlight and linked to a strange story of two infants found inside the castle grounds over sixteen years before. One of them, a boy, had a birthmark like Jack's and the other, a girl, is buried in Greyfriars Cemetery. But Greyfriars is home to more than the dead. Something underground is reaching out to Jack and into his dreams, forcing him from his bed in the dead of night to investigate what he thinks he has seen.

And Jack is changing, too. Those dreams, the dreams of his childhood are back. They lead him to the cemetery, to the castle, and to a confrontation with Tess - a sister he never knew. Bound by her hypnotic influence, Jack is almost where she wants him to be when he is lost to her and propelled into a medieval future where he begins to uncover his true nature. There, he finds his first love and the strength to take on an army in a fight for freedom. With twenty thousand soldiers set against Jack and his new friends, the boy's unique physiology is all that stands between Heaven and Hell on Earth - but he is ready. This is what he was made for.
