  "I must ken what he has seen and understand his power. Where it lies. How it might be had. I must have it."

Dylan Matheson, an ordinary man torn out of time by faerie magic, chose to throw in his lot with the world of the past. In the Highlands of eighteenth century Scotland, he found the love of his life - and lost her to death. Left with their two children, he wants only to live quietly and raise them in peace.

But his days are torn by the strife created by the English troops, who never cease to harass the people. And his nights are tormented by a voice, which whispers to him, tempting him, seeking to turn him to darkness, seeking to control him, body and soul.

The voice is that of an enemy far more dangerous than red-coated soldiers. She is Morrighan, the Celtic Goddess of War. And she wants to claim Dylan as her own.

Now Dylan must fight a war on two fronts. And while his prowess with the sword will prove invaluable to the Jacobite cause, in the struggle with Morrighan he is unarmed.

For she has captured Sinann, his faerie ally. And without her at his side, he is defenseless against the world of magic...

  In Son of the Sword, J. Ardian Lee transported us to a land of unsurpassed beauty - at a time when its people faced their darkest hour. Now, Dylan Matheson returns to eighteenth-century Scotland - to challenge history itself...

"Sinann, send me home..."

Home for Dylan Matheson had been twentieth-century America, until the faerie Sinann drew him back in time to be a hero for her people.

In that time, in that place, he had found - and lost - his true love. And then to save his life, Sinann had brought him back to his own century.

But life without his Cait and the son she had borne him, a son he had never seen, held no joy for Dylan. So he begs Sinann to send him once again to the past.

This time, willingly. This time, forever. There, though he is a hunted outlaw, he will find some way to be with Cait, to be a father to his son.

There, to save the boy from the dark fate that awaits him, he will attempt the impossible.

With sword, with magic, with whatever means at his command, Dylan will try to change the course of history...

"Ancient Sword of my people, bring me a hero to save from tyranny the sons and daughters of this land. Let a Matheson lay hands on you and become that hero...."

So speaks the faerie Sinann as she musters what is left of her powers in a desperate attempt to save her beloved homeland. In 1713, Scotland's Jacobite rebels face their darkest hour. They need new blood, a new leader to help them fight British oppression. And they are about to get one....

Dylan Matheson is an ordinary guy with ordinary problems: family, girlfriend - the usual. He likes his life. He's happy living above the dojo where he teaches martial arts and swordfighting. He has a few close friends who share his interest in things ancient and Scottish. Then one day at a Medieval Faire, he sees a magnificent broadsword. He takes it in hand - and is transported to a time and place he has only read about.

Now Dylan Matheson, ordinary guy, is about to embark upon an extraordinary adventure. Trapped in the past, he will find the sweetness of true love - and the bitterness of betrayal. And it will take all of his skills - plus a bit of magic - just to survive.
