Sword Across Time

by Cathy Walker

When the legendary realm of Avalon disappears into the mist, it leaves behind a powerful and dangerous legacy of curses invoked in the heat of anger and passion. The words of Merlin and the Lady of the Lake have faded to a mere whisper over the centuries, yet their power remains strong and deadly.Gavin and Tamara are thrust together when they discover journals written by their ancestors and embark on a search for the truth of the curses. Fate and circumstances put them in the path of a dangerous opponent, the Dark Lady, Morganna, who seeks to claim the power of the Sword Excalibur for herself. Unaware that a blood sacrifice is needed to activate the power of the sword, Gavin and Tamara find themselves in a race against evil to defeat Morganna and save themselves.

About the author

An avid reader since childhood, I used to wake up early in the morning to read before going to school. The books that first fired my imagination were the Black Stallion books by Walter Farley. My daydreams leaned toward finding myself stranded on a desert island with a black stallion only I could ride. Those daydreams helped me make it through, what I considered, the drudgery of school. Who wouldn't rather be romping in the freedom of the outdoors taming a wild stallion?

As I matured, so did my taste in books along with my daydreams. Escaping into the pages of a book captured my attention and pumped my senses like nothing else. Unfortunately, I was always of the mind that I could never actually write a book. You had to be a writer to do something like that. Eventually, I came to my senses. As my fortieth birthday approached, I decided to write a book. I had no idea how to write, what to write about, or even how to begin, but, imbued with Capricorn stubborness, I wrote anyway.

Currently, I am living my life-long dream on 50 acre farm in Ontario, Canada. This move to the country has proven to be time consuming, especially since a friend gave me two baby goats as a farm-warming gift. I have added to the herd and now own 12 goats, not to mention my Welsh pony, 3 dogs and 2 cats.

My husband, Fred, and I, own and operate a martial arts and wellness centre as well as run an archery range and store on our farm. I also work a part time job in order to help feed my menagerie of animals.

fun old time myths

I had a good time reading about the old time myths and how the youth of today see them. The mystery was good.
Although I thoroughly believe in a lot of what was said, it felt Preachy. Major turn off.

Sword Across Time

Tamara and Gavin are descendants of Nimue and Merlin. Drawn together the pair must stop Morgana from getting her hands on the Sword Excalibur, and they are rapidly running out of time.
Oh boy what a read. Cathy Walker has come up with a book that is well written and has engaging characters.
This is a brilliant new take on the Nimue/Merlin story and I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have always been drawn to anything Arthurian, so of course I wanted to read this book. If that is your reason behind looking at this book, turn away. This is a cross between "why witches are wonderful" and teenage romance. It took me quite a while to read it because it really isn't that interesting.
