Book Description
The fate of Wessex lies in the hands of Merlin, the current manifestation of the 10,000-year-old Avebury Stones dynasty of Wessex venefici. But time races against him. He has only seven years left to live; seven scant years in which he must train his successor in the enchantments. To be veneficus is to be wizard, sorcerer, alchemist, hermit and wax-pale ghost. Twilight, formerly the village boy Will Timms, is imbued with the aura of the one chosen to be taught by the mighty Merlin and eventually take his place. However, Wessex has fallen into peril, consumed by conflict and death. The Northern King, Penda, and his wolf woman veneficus, Elelendise, have invaded the land in pursuit of conquest and power. Elelendise covets Merlin's title above all else and she will stop at nothing to obtain it... But Penda and Elelendise are not the only threats. Forces even darker still are gathering against Merlin and Twilight as the god of the Cowering Dead strives for dominion in an immortal struggle entwined with the fate of Wessex. Author Chris Page lives in Wiltshire (Wessex), England with his wife and two children. The Dark Ages history of the region known as Wessex, steeped in the life and culture of the poetic Celtic tribes, form a foundation of facts, people and sites on which Chris constructs his world of magic and fantasy. Veneficus - Stones of the Chosen is the first book of The Wessex Progressions. The story continues in Gemini Thunder.
