His journey takes him to the mysterious archaepeligo of Rockall - a land of strange creatures and new adventures. Will he find his family ... read on.

Pleasant young-adult fantasy, similar in style to Terry Brookes and David Eddings.

[Moira Mackinnon · Rating 3 out of 5]

There is a feeling of innocence to this book, and a style that hearkens back to an earlier age, reminiscent of turn-of-the-century (19th to 20th that is) writers.

[Alayne · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very well written and highly readable book. Set in England in 1403, it starts off being historical fiction, then takes a twist into fantasy, with empathic animals and a highly modern care for the environment. Very entertaining, and I will be chasing up this author's other works.
