Second-hand Whispers

The first novel in a portal-fantasy series, filled with creatures from folklore and medieval manuscripts, and also with themes of historical witch trials and the English Civil War. Cal was exiled far from his home for having caused a terrible grief. When Brooke finds an opal ring in his second-hand shop, he dares to believe this could begin his long-awaited redemption. It was supposed to be a simple road trip to return a ring, but with Marcus tagging along, things soon turn out to be more complicated than Cal would wish. He will need to return to a place where he is hunted and where people like Brooke and Marcus are outlawed. They will face the mischievous seelie and unseelie, and the dangerous, mythical wiht. Yet fate seems to be taking him back to the crimes of his past, perhaps allowing him to right one of his many wrongs. The search for the ring’s owner takes Cal home, exposing Brooke and Marcus to a world full of danger, hatred and fear, but also showing them a place of wonder and friendship
