For 2,000 years, the Order of the Varaná has nurtured and protected the Anarwyn, a sentient magic that has developed a symbiotic relationship with humans. The Order has kept the land free of the ageless evil called the Bragamahr that once controlled the destiny of humankind. Over the long years, the secrets of the magic have been lost, and the Varaná have dwindled until only one remains. Then, from the shadows come the Mahrowaiths of the Bragamahr, ancient creatures of evil who attempt to hunt the remaining heirs of Anarwyn to extinction.

When a landslip on Pembrokeshire’s stunning coastal path reveals the harrowing remains of two bodies, ex-DCI Evan Warlow’s quiet retirement is shattered.

Great kings aren’t born. They’re made. Forged in the fires of adversity. The Anarwyn is frightened. The Bragamahr is ascendant. When Cam, now king of the West Mark, marches out to face Bardon’s armies, he knows that no victory on the battlefield can defeat the power rising in Anwyn. If Lorna, the last of the ancient line of the Varaná, can’t withstand the Bragamahr, how can Cam expect to succeed?

Hunted by the Bragamahr and distrusted by the Anarwyn, Cam must find his way through a land haunted by a tragic past. The memory of the dead pursues him as he finds himself drawn ever more powerfully to the Bragamahr. The magics would have him choose, but maybe he can’t. The fate of Anwyn rests on his choice. Can he revive the undead king before the magics tear him apart? Must he embrace the evil within to succeed? If he does, what will become of his friends?

When a brutal attack on two mountain bikers in the vast solitude of the Brechfa forest leaves one dead and the other badly injured, the hunt is on for the killer. And though the evidence points firmly in one direction, an open and shut case soon becomes murky and unclear.

The magic is broken. Cam is trapped between the need to secure his throne, his commitment to support King Gareth as he resists a massive invasion, and the renewed threat from the magic he fought to protect. Nature itself is being torn apart as two rival magics wrestle for control. Underneath it all, something very old and very powerful rouses from its lethargy. It hunts for Cam—even as the magic called the Anarwyn grows ever more reckless in its efforts to neutralize him.
