Review:

'To set foot in Albion is to enter a rich world of fantasy, rooted in Celtic mythology. An astonishingly imaginative story sequence.' BooksMagazine 'An epic struggle between Light and Darkness - well paced, exciting and very well researched.' Forbidden Planet

From the Back Cover:

In an ancient cairn in the wilds of Scotland, Oxford student Simon Rawson vanishes, seemingly into thin air. Where has he gone? Unsettling signs -- a mysterious Green Man, a Celtic circle chalked on the sidewalk -- point his roommate, Lewis Gillies, to an impossible answer . . . and an incredible destiny on the other side of a doorway between worlds. There, where Celtic champions, magic, and treachery weave the beautiful and brutal land called Albion, Lewis finds Simon. And there, schooled as a warrior, he is thrust to the front of a titanic struggle between light and darkness -- a hideous, onrushing darkness that would devour not merely a kingdom, but two worlds.
