The Gatekeeper: by Ian and Rosi Taylor
Paul Milton, a young priest, who has made a name for himself within the church as a dynamic game-changer, is sent from his thriving London Parish to a small village in the North of England. Attendance there has fallen by the wayside, and his goal is to try and build a thriving parish community in Low Moor like he achieved in London.
On his arrival, he soon realises that there are many more factors at play than he could ever begin to imagine. He learns of his predecessors who have either died or been driven crazy and of Julius Dodds, the church’s troubleshooter, who seems to be hiding a lot more than he is prepared to divulge to Paul.
When Paul’s wife, Sarah cycles to the next village, Walden, and befriends Olwen, a Celtic sorceress able to change her appearance at will, things go from bad to worse. As Sarah grows more and more distant from her husband, Dodd’s army of monks are armed with crossbows, villagers are murdered and Hallows Eve draws near, Paul must discover the secret in the old Church of Walden or he could lose his wife forever.
