The Tower and the Emerald
Set in a legendary Britain of long ago, The Tower and the Emerald is an epic romantic fantasy of good and evil, magic and mystery, love and war.
Viviane is a beautiful Celtic princess who stands at the heart of the novel's conflict between the powers of Light and Darkness. And she unwittingly unravels the spell that binds the spirit of the evil Idoc within a circle of tall stones. Once released from his age-long bondage, the sorcerer-priest is able to use his powers to seek vengeance against those responsible for his original enslavement – including the Princess Viviane and her lover.
With Idoc in possession of the body of Prince Caradawc, her betrothed, Viviane can no longer judge safely between friend and foe, between this life and previous incarnations. Yet to rescue Caradawc from his nightmare, she must risk everything to reach the dreaded dark tower where Idoc awaits. And, success will only be hers if she is able to find the all-powerful emerald which belonged to the archangel Lucifer in ancient and other days.
There follows a search for spiritual grace which is beautifully depicted and which includes all the timeless ingredients of legend.
