Serere

In 1788 a mysterious man arrives in Newington Green, England, to discuss something of the utmost importance with Isobel Shelley. While there he happens upon the pages of the Book of Origin, and finds himself caught up in a series of events that lead him back to Newington Green 214 years later. There he bumps into a man called Willem Townsend; it is an accidental encounter that will change the lives of both men forever. Things have been set in motion, a prophecy waits to be fulfilled... "A man can surely do what he wills to do, but cannot determine what he wills." This ebook-exclusive novella is a prelude to Frankham-Allen's upcoming series THE GARDEN, launching in March 2011 with SEEKER. The series will launch simultaneously in print from Hirst Publishing and in ebook format from Untreed Reads.
