A knock on the door hurls Darren Cox from his quiet twenty-first-century life to the dark and brutal reality of Saxon Britain.
Waking up bound and beaten in a smoke-filled tenth-century hut, he realizes he hasn’t just been kidnapped – he’s been the target of terrifying black magic that transcends time.
His captor, the hideously scarred Brea, has enlisted a sinister druid’s help to drag Darren across the centuries to pay for the fiery sins of his distant ancestors.
Facing a slow and agonizing execution, Darren’s only chance of survival is a daring escape into untamed wilderness alongside a resourceful slave girl, Abbrienna, and her captive sister, Idina.
Hunted by Brea’s ruthless grandsons and the dark druid Ransley who summons demonic hellhounds and unnatural beasts, the trio embarks on a desperate trek toward the distant sanctuary of Dore Abbey.
Armed with only improvised weapons and a growing faith, Darren must survive a brutal world where the dark arts are deadly real.
Set against the shadowed beauty of the Malvern Hills, Sins of the Fathers is a gripping tale of time travel, forbidden love, and ancient magic, where courage is tested, destiny is challenged, and dark forces will stop at nothing to claim their revenge.
