    The Magicians: A Knight In Time 
    A Magicians Time-Twist Adventure 
    When Empress Matilda and her brother, Robert of Gloucester, are ripped from their crusading century into modern Melbourne, history itself comes under magical siege. Ancient oaths clash with futuristic mysticism as they encounter the enigmatic Magicians — Fred, Ana, Blake, and Mortimer — allies sworn to protect time from chaos. But old fears die hard, and not even a dragon usher, an electric warlock, or the King of Death himself can convince the Normans they’re among friends. 
    Can a knight forge a truce with fate, or will the future fall to myth and madness? 
    An epic clash of timelines, faith, legacy, and otherworldly truth, where the past must reckon with powers beyond belief. Gothic, witty, and utterly original. 
    The Earl, Empress Matilda, and King Stephen are the author's direct ancestors.

    p>Edinburgh 1841.
    
    Reaching out like a hungry white worm it twisted and spiralled, tasting the air. Then, evidently attracted by the flow of warm blood, it squirmed its way under the surface of my skin.
    Every autumn without fail, a strange seed appears on the chestnut tree that marks the spot where the witch Margaret McKay was murdered.
    Legend states that anyone who catches this nut before it hits the ground will be blessed with untold riches, but when it falls into the eager hands of botanist Joseph Ware, the seed unleashes a terrible curse. In his quest to find the cure, Joseph discovers a resistance group battling to save the last of Scotland's witches from a sinister order of surgeons who believe the key to all magic lies hidden somewhere within a witch's anatomy.
    The conflict quickly tears apart the bonds of family, friendship and even reality itself, as Joseph fights to save his soul and avoid the anatomists' dissecting table.
    Ideal for readers of The Last Witch in Scotland, The Witches of Vardo, Bram Stoker or for those with an interest in witchcraft lore.
