Deep in the Celtic Underworld, a group of Grithods wake Jack in the middle of the night. So urgent is the call to attend the Oracle, Hadi drags him along without him dressing. The Oracle, Jack’s master, sets him his final test. He is in the final months of his three-year apprenticeship under Hadi. If he fails, he cannot to return to see his family.
Together with his old dreamtime friends, Haw-Stick and Rowan-Cap the Oracle sends them on an apparently pointless, but perilous journey. Sent without provisions or weapons they have to cross the desert and the ocean to the Isles of Goibhniu. That is a place high in the sky and is very different from the forest of Anderida where his friends come from. Their mission is to rendezvous with a Grithod princess, who will guide them to meet someone called Vulcan inside a volcano. After that, it is too scary to tell you.
Jack and his brother’s undertake the most hair-raising and arduous journey in their lives. They meet many characters from the darkest pages of Celtic mythology. They struggle through a series of disasters before Jack realises what his mission is, and how he might be able to utilise his paranormal powers.
As they travel through the Celtic Underworld, they are forever in danger. They meet thraldom, giants, man-eaters and a creature more fearful than your scariest nightmares. Only Jack’s latent skills in magination can ward off the evil that Jack’s party face, but is that enough?

Shards: Intro- Part 1 (old)
The First in the old Series! As the 21st century continues, Mankind is completely unaware of a whole other world that shares the planet with them. A world deliberately concealed for both of their sakes. A world mankind has forgotten. A world of magic. Citizens of this world are at risk of being discovered every second of every day, as our jets, boats, and even undersea cables run through their lands in the middle of the three major oceans spanning our planet. The only luxury protecting them is their long tradition of remaining forgotten by humans beyond their borders, and their magic making that tradition a reality. But as life goes on for the likes of Atlantean's like Gemini and Paige, a mysterious threat begins to emerge; to Atlantis in particular. A threat that could pose dire consequences for every living being on Planet Earth. This is the Intro and 1st installment for my old Shards Series. I hope you enjoy it! Pls 💬 and ⭐️! DISCLAIMER: This is my Original work. Do not copy it. The entire Shards series belongs to me as well. You are however, free to write any fanfics as long as you mention me.

He would accomplish the impossible Unfortunately, things never go as planned. Short Story 2 Things has been changing in the city ever since the new of Jack Kilver.

Short Story 4 Lily lived a happy but simple life in her village, despite the war against the magical beasts of world still raging. When the war finally reaches the village, she expected her life to end with her family. She never expected a man to appear and offer her a deal. Tales Of Wonder are short stories that are tied in to a novel I've had in my head for years. They are related to the novel and each other. These stories are mainly to motivate me and to test out different writing styles. Each short story will be written in different styles. They take place in a world where magic and science combine. The first story here, I admit leaves the rules of the world and how everything works a little vague but each short story will add more and eventually the novel will tie up the magic system. Any feedback is welcomed. Of course, let me know if you want more stories.Concluida
