All Arthur Penhaligon wants is to have a normal life, doing normal things. But before he was born - a VERY long time before - Arthur was Chosen. His life is going to be anything but ordinary. Skateboarding down his local street Arthur realises that everyone has disappeared, except for one man – and a crow. And the man is waiting for him. Arthur and his friends, Nick and Tamar, quickly find themselves pulled into a dark world of ancient magic, deep mystery and danger. A world where people travel through time, animals take control and a mythical sword becomes real. A world where the murderous Crow Man, and Matearnas, the self-crowned Queen of Cornwall, are determined to rob Arthur of his ancient birthright. At any cost. Normal is about to go out of the window.

Arthur Penhaligon is a skateboarder (usually). He also happens to be a Guardian, knighted by Excalibur. It’s been a year since Arthur and his friends first met a shape-shifting cat and defeated the sinister Crow Man. But now, far below the Cornish hills the deep magic is stirring again, summoning Arthur’s rivals to the contest for Cornwall’s crown. It’s time to get to grips with the challenges of time-travel (have you ever tried it?), and with ancient knights who really shouldn’t be around. On a Cornish path a tiny, green-stone dragon stretches a claw. In a churchyard a carved angel tests his wings while, out at sea, an emerald-encrusted pocket watch chimes once… and slips through time. Life is about to get interesting. Comero weeth – take care.

Merlin’s Vow : A thrilling mystery adventure book - with more than a dash of fantasy and action - for teens and older children age 10 – 14. The magic is moving, but Tamar Tamblyn - one of Cornwall’s four teenage Guardians - is stranded at Trezion’s Christmas fair, miles from her fellow Guardians. Will Arthur, Nick or Gawain reach her before their enemies close in … or will the Ice lady claim her prize? Who is the mysterious Dr Columbarius? Why has Tamar been invited to Oakwood Manor? And since when did time travel mess with molecules – or become quite so dangerous? This is the story of four teenagers, some ancient knights and a dragon (a very tiny one), pitted against time-defying enemies. Camelot is calling.

Arthur’s Kingdom: A page-turning, action-packed fantasy for boys and girls featuring time travel, Excalibur and Merlin. The final book in this thrilling mystery adventure series for teens and older children from 10 - 14. Camelot is calling, Excalibur is waiting - and an epic world of magic, mystery and danger beckons. It’s Arthurian, but not as you know it. It is two years since Arthur Penhaligon swapped his skateboard for Excalibur. A year since Tamar became the first female Time Keeper, Nick was given a small, green dragon and Arthur was crowned Cornwall’s king. Six months since the wizard, Merlin, appeared. But now it is summer and evil is on the move. The Ice lady wants Cornwall’s crown - and she will kill to get it. Arthur’s Kingdom is the last in this epic fantasy adventure series. It is the story of five teenagers, some ancient knights and a dragon, pitted against time-defying enemies.
