Uttering a forgotten spell of the Old Blood, a druid resurrects her murdered king. But can he reclaim his throne before Death reclaims him? When English teacher Hugh Cavendish is summoned back across the well between worlds, he finds his killer on his throne and invaders at his shore. He was a failure as king in his last life, why does his druid think he can change things now? But this world holds everything he has longed for--vengeance, love, and a second chance. He is bound to this land by blood magic and something far stronger. But he wasn't the only one who crossed the well. Someone has followed him here and they are set on taking him back. For readers of Celtic fantasy in the tradition of Marion Zimmer Bradley and Tad Williams. "For fans of the dual worlds of Stephen R. Donaldson's The Land and Stephen King's The Talisman . . ." -Rusty Clark
