A spellbinding journey through ancient Welsh folklore. David returns to his childhood home on a quest to uncover alien realms taught to him by his school's mystic headmaster. He is menaced by cruel ancient enemies, desperate to possess his power for their own ends. And following him is a beast formed from the very fabric of Celtic mythology, a great boar, Twrch Trwyth. Does the boar pursue David to harm or protect him? Could it be the spirit of his old mentor returned to offer one last lesson in his time of greatest need? Ages 10 and up
I'm sorry, I was excited about this one but ... I actually don't think it was really ready for publication. And the romance (sub)plot really took up too much of it and I found it pretty dull. I expected a darker, more folkloric tale. I think there was a great idea there, but not completely well executed. Definitely needed a much stronger edit or three.
