Synopsis

In this prequel to The Standing Ground, we travel back two generations to the origins of the oppressive E-Government state that infiltrates every aspect of people's lives in the decade following Brexit and a global pandemic. But, as the darkness overtakes Britain and other areas of Europe, the light of resistance wakes in a community that spans the Celtic outposts of Brittany and North Wales. And in a strange child, Myrddin Emrys, also known as Merlin.

Weaving together Arthurian legend and exploratory fiction of the near future, The Roots of the Ground explores the human cost of a monoculture that tramples freedom and privacy and asserts with Carl Jung that:

'As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.'

    Step into one of the greatest novels ever written, a sweeping story of passion, duty, and the search for meaning. Anna Karenina follows two powerful journeys: Anna, a woman of extraordinary beauty and charm, who risks everything for a love that defies society, and Levin, a landowner whose restless search for truth and purpose leads him through doubt, work, and ultimately to peace. 
    Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia, the novel explores the collision between desire and responsibility, illusion and authenticity, despair and fulfillment. From glittering ballrooms to the quiet fields of the countryside, every page reveals timeless questions about love, family, faith, and the choices that define our lives. 
    More than a tale of romance and tragedy, Anna Karenina is a profound meditation on human struggle and resilience. It reminds us that passion without balance can destroy, while steady devotion to truth and purpose can transform even the most ordinary days into a life of meaning.
