Restless at the royal court, the young Prince Bladud sets off to consult an oracle in the west country - a wild wooded place near a mysterious hot spring that gushes from a cave. There the priestess tells him that he will be a great king, and that one day he will fly like an eagle. When he returns to his father's hill-fort at Trinovantum, ancient London, Bladud's head is full of magnificent dreams... until trickery entraps him in a loveless marriage. His unquenchable thirst for knowledge, sharpened by a mysterious experience at the burial mound of his forefathers, takes him away from his home and wife on a dangerous journey to faraway Greece. There he meets and falls in love with a woman who has appeared to him many times already in dreams and visions. On returning to his own country, he finds his father dying and his wife conspiring with his brother to disinherit him. Then, found to be suffering from a disease believed to be leprosy, he is driven from the court and shunned by his people. In this dark time he becomes a swineherd. One day, he notices his pigs are free of sores after wallowing in hot mud. He tries the healing waters of Sul himself, is cured, and returns to claim his throne... His was a golden age of wisdom and magic, where Otherworld beings mingle freely with the people of this world, and where swans and ravens and owls take on their own special mysterious significance. Full of brilliant imagination, this colourful fantasy draws its strength and inspiration from the strange and beautiful realms of Celtic and Greek myth and legend.

Book excerpt: It is 72 AD, and most of Britain is under Roman domination. At Aquae Sulis, a place of pilgrimage and healing, hot waters gush ceaselessly from the earth. Since ancient times the waters have been associated with the supernatural, and are under the protection of the Celtic Goddess Sul. The Romans have renamed her Sulis Minerva, and have tamed the steaming waters to form a complex of public baths. A statue of the hated Emperor Claudius is being erected in the precincts of the Temple of Sulis Minerva. The centurion Decius Brutus, a Celt, is ordered to return to his home town to protect the statue and prevent trouble. But the local people, led by his proud father and his fiery daughter, Megan, are threatening rebellion... Meanwhile, Megan's twin sister Ethne is torn between her destiny as Oracle of Sul, and her love for Lucius, who is caught up in his own quest for spiritual enlightenment, with the help of the Orphic priest Demosthenes. Twenty miles away, on Glastonia Island, a small Christian community struggles to establish a new religion in a hostile land, away from Roman persecution. Cults from Rome, Greece, Egypt and Judaea vie with the native Celtic beliefs and form a rich backdrop to the human dramas that unfold. The Waters of Sul is set in a time of transition and adjustment, when beliefs are questioned and loyalties are tested. Love and hate, conflict and reconciliation, troubled romance and an uneasy traffic with the supernatural all feature in this brilliantly conceived novel from a masterful storyteller.

Readers of all ages will find comfort in this timeless story, which will make them wonder and believe in the power of friendship. The story begins: On top of a small, ivy-covered house in a peaceful and beautiful part of the world was a room that was anything but ordinary. This room was a cozy haven where it seemed like time stopped and the worries of the outside world went away. In the middle of this room was a small teddy bear named Teddy. Inside Teddy's cozy, well-lit body was a charming story waiting to be solved. Teddy wasn't like other toy animals because he could do magic. Instead, he was one of a kind. He was a much-loved pet, and his soft, silky fur showed that he had been stroked and cuddled a lot. Even though he kept his warm, friendly gaze on him, there was a hint of mystery in his button eyes. It was a secret that only the stars and moon knew. At that moment, when the moon's silvery light covered the whole world, Teddy changed. At first, Teddy's soft body would move almost slowly as the night sky darkened and the first stars began to shine, as if in answer to a call from heaven. Then he would wake up, and with a stretch of his hairy limbs and a barely noticeable yawn, he would enter a world where he was alive. During that magic hour, the moonlight and thoughts turned the room into a theater where a story was told. Teddy moved with the flow of life, which gave his stiff arms a soft, elegant feel. His button eyes, which had been pretty before, now sparkled with mischievous interest. During these times, Teddy came to life. His very being was tied to the waves of the world at night. Every night, Teddy's adventures took place in a cute house that was a quiet place of refuge. Time had left its mark on the wooden beams, and each of the old things on the walls had its own story. Warm and welcoming, the room had lace curtains that let the silvery moonlight shine through and make beautiful patterns on the wooden floor. A loved, old rocking chair was set up next to the window. Its soft creaks blended in with the sound of the falling stars. Teddy's life grew up in this beautiful country setting. His life on the moon wasn't boring at all. It was a strange world where it was hard to tell what was possible and what was not. In the quiet of the night, Teddy went on adventures that most people could only make up for. As he went into the unknown, his reliable friend, the moon, kept watch over him. Its bright light guided him. Teddy went into worlds just outside the house, where it kept an eye on him. Behind the window was the magical forest, a mysterious place with old trees and hidden secrets. It drew him in with the promise of excitement and the promise of secrets just waiting to be found. As soon as Teddy set foot on the forest floor, he heard the sounds of nature, such as leaves rustling, insects singing, and even the occasional hoot of an old owl. Deep in this magical forest, Teddy met animals that were smart and funny. The wise old owl, who was a guardian of the night, gave him advice in the form of puzzles and proverbs. Teddy listened carefully and realized that the woods were full of secrets he could never have imagined. Teddy found a secret pond deeper in the woods. The surface of the pond was lit up by the soft, dreamy glow of fireflies. As these tiny animals danced on the smooth surface of the water, they made a sparkling light show. Teddy was amazed by how beautiful they were, so he started to dance with them, moving and shining in their company. The night was filled with the sound of the fireflies' laughter as they greeted him as one of them. They looked like tiny stars. Teddy did not only go on trips by himself. Along the way, he made friends with the forest's people. When Sammy, a friendly squirrel, was looking for his lost nuts, he met Teddy, who reminded him of himself. As a group, they went on a journey, putting a lot of acorns in Sammy's storehouse and getting closer to each other through kind acts. As Teddy's experiences in the enchanted woods went on, he started to think of it as his second home. Every night, something new happened that showed the magic that grew in the soft light of the moon. Teddy the teddy bear's life started in that cozy room at the top of the charming house. It was a story of wonder and magic, where the ordinary became magical and the moonlit hours promised endless adventures in the middle of a magical world. In the quiet of those moonlit nights, when the rest of the world was asleep and the moon was shining, Teddy's change was nothing short of magical. Teddy would wake up from a peaceful sleep as soon as he saw the moonlight shining through the lace curtains and giving the room a soft, dreamy glow. He would wake up with a feeling of excitement that was almost palpable. His moves were like a waltz of cotton padding and soft toys. It was amazing to see how the bear went from being a sleepy, cuddly animal to a lively, active soul. Teddy's furry limbs moved with an obvious grace, as if he were welcoming the endless possibilities of the night and shaking off the sleepiness of his daytime life. The dance was put together in complete silence, so that only the moon and the quietest night sounds could be heard. But the sparkle in Teddy's button eyes showed what Teddy's charm was really about. Those eyes no longer have the innocent look they had during the day. Instead, they have a mean look on them. They held the knowledge of many moonlit adventures, the promise of more crazy ones to come, and a whole world of secrets. Teddy finished his change with one last stretch and a yawn that seemed to match the quiet of the evening. He was no longer just a stuffed animal; he was now a live, breathing person who did cute things. He seemed to have taken on the power of the moonlight, giving him a vitality that went against the rules of the everyday world. When Teddy got out of bed, he felt like he was going into a dream world he had made himself. He walked lightly, almost ethereally, on the wooden floor with his velvety, smooth paws. The room that used to be his refuge and place of peace was now where he went to start his nighttime adventures. Every night held the promise of a new adventure or discovery, and Teddy's heart would beat faster as he got ready to go into the unknown. Teddy would jump across the room when he got more energy. He couldn't see what was making him act so silly. He jumped out of bed at a speed that didn't match his appearance of wealth. He landed with a soft, almost quiet thud, as if the air itself were cushioning his steps. Teddy's spirit of youth was most clear during these bursts of energy. Teddy's adventures at night took place in the room, which was lit by the soft, silvery light of the moon. During the day, the lace curtains let in just the right amount of light and cast beautiful patterns of light and shadow on the wooden floor. The walls were covered with old photos and items that looked like they were whispering stories from long ago that tied in with Teddy's own adventures. One of the most cherished things in the room was a well-loved rocking chair with curved wooden arms that had seen many hours of soothing motion. In the dark, the chair seemed to come to life. It swayed softly, as if it were filled with the same magic that Teddy was. Teddy's world became calmer when the chair creaked in a way that sounded like a song and went well with the music of the night. Teddy's magic, though, went beyond the walls of the room. Behind the window with the lace curtains was the door to his real playroom, a beautiful forest. The forest pulled him in with its old trees, each of which held secrets and told stories of the past through its bark. As soon as Teddy stepped onto the forest floor, he seemed to have left the everyday world behind. There were secrets, rhythms, and puzzles that could only be found in the magical forest. As Teddy went down, the sound of rustling leaves greeted him. Every step he took was an offer to find out about the secrets that were waiting for him. He was surrounded by the nighttime music of the forest, which included the soft rustling of leaves, the chirping of crickets, and the loud hoots of an old owl sitting in the trees. Deep in this magical world, Teddy met animals that were smart and funny. The wise old owl, a watcher of the night, welcomed Teddy with a knowing hoot, as if he knew Teddy was special in the world of moonlit adventures. Teddy paid close attention to the owl's secret information and realized that the forest was full of puzzles he had never thought of. Teddy found a secret pond deeper in the woods. The surface of the pond was lit up by the soft, dreamy glow of fireflies. These tiny organisms danced on the water's mirror-like surface like live lanterns, making a show of sparkling light. Teddy was amazed by how beautiful they were, so he started to dance with them, moving and shining in their company. The night was filled with the sound of the fireflies' laughter as they greeted him as one of them. They looked like tiny stars. Teddy did not go on his trips all by himself. Along the way, he made friends with the forest's people. When Sammy, a friendly squirrel, was looking for his lost nuts, he met Teddy, who reminded him of himself. Together, they went on a journey that led to a lot of acorns being put in Sammy's storehouse and made their friendship stronger through acts of kindness. Teddy's steady friend and the moon's watchful eye helped him get through these lovely nights. Its sparkling brightness lit its way and made the forest, and its people look like they were in heaven. Teddy, on the other hand, took the light of the moon as his own and let it guide him when he went exploring at night. So, Teddy's life turned into a fascinating story of magic and change in that small room at the top of the cottage, where the ordinary became special and the moonlit hours promised endless adventures at the center of a magical world. The soft glow of the moonlight gave the room an otherworldly beauty that made even the most ordinary things look a little bit magical. Now that Teddy was awake and aware, he became this charm. Under the light of the moon, his soft hair, which had been caressed with love all day, looked almost ethereal. It looked like it was covered in stardust, as if it had soaked up the light of the moon.
