A Gathering of Twine [2 chapter sampler]
"EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS A LIE.”
In this first novel in his epic fantasy-horror series, The Spirals of Danu, Martin Adil-Smith introduces the reader to a cast of unlikely heroes; Professor George Tate, one of the mythical Twine, and his seemingly ageless assistant, Celus.
Freeman Sullivan submits his final book to his incredulous editor and tells the occult tale of George and Celus as they discover that every great global institution has been infiltrated by shadowy forces beyond mortal understanding.
Stalked at every turn by the sinister Raven Men, the friends must take their first steps towards the Citadel of The Last, and the divine evil that dwells within. Yet their cause is not without cost and their journey that will leave a trail of conspiracy and mayhem.
From the ashes of shattered lives will rise those who will help and hinder, as the mystery of Sumerland threatens to throw all creation into chaos. George, Celus, and even Freeman must choose their battles with care, for today's casualty may be tomorrow's enemy.
Because Freeman has realized George’s truth - that the walls between worlds are thinning and the shadows are lengthening, as Humanity braces for an evil beyond our comprehension.
