He discovers the mysterious circumstances of his relative's death: combustion within the henge. Further investigations into his deceased relative reveals his membership of an ancient secret Order 'that has existed across centuries from druidic times to the present day.



Tormented by flashbacks, Josh senses impending disaster unless he discovers the nature and purpose of the Secret Order. Teaming up with Dr Gwyn Rowlands an ex alcoholic, archaeologist, they attempt to unravel the Order's purpose, the secret of the house and as other murder attempts fail, the reason why they are on someone's death list. Hypnotic regression provides evidence of transmigration and clues to the nature of the house.



Extract



The tunnel



Rounding a corner my flashlight picked up writing carved into the rock of the tunnel.

"What's that?" whispered Bob.

I played the beam across the smoothened rock face and examined the writing. Lichen covered the surface in patches, masking letters and words. I pulled a ten pence coin from my pocket and used the edge to scrape away the green growth, stepped back and shone the flashlight beam over the exposed rock. Bob started reading in a hoarse and hesitant voice.

"Be warned and commaunded ye who so trespasseth here!

Hither lieth a gate of Samhain, to the otherworlde..."
