For, it seems, that no matter what decision is taken - even the complete destruction of the universe - a choice is always made, and from that choice, an alternate possibility appears and becomes its own reality. Those who were once the Undying are now the gods, and before they can begin to try to understand the true nature of the universe, they must first adjust to their new situation. Now the Citadel is a part of the world. The former Undying and the dwellers of the Citadel are, once more, contemporaries and equals. New gods in the new world. And new rivals. But everything is different now, soon the time of the gods will be over and Johnny and all the new gods will shortly go the way of the old, leaving the worlds to the domination of mortals and the new Undying.

Book excerpt: The SCI'ON Trilogy. Whenever a decision is taken that is of significance to the world. The world divides and two alternate futures are created. In the beginning, there was only one world. That world we name SCI 'ON. All other worlds that sprang from it we name the shadow worlds. Some believe SCI 'ON is the only real world and that all others are mere reflections; hence the name. Others believe that all the alternate worlds are equally real and important, however they may have come into being. Whatever the case; one thing is certain. If SCI 'ON itself - the cradle of creation - were to be destroyed, all other worlds would cease to exist. For SCI 'ON is the mainspring and without it, the shadow worlds would have no point of origin. The Shadow Worlds, Legacies, The Citadel

Celtic Britain is on the brink of collapse, and the kingdom’s bloodiest days are upon it. For many years, the people of Britain have enjoyed peace and prosperity under the reign of King Arthur. But Arthur is now weakening with age, and the seeds of discontent are being sown. Seeking to cleanse the land of Christian belief, dissenters need a symbol with which to legitimize their pagan claim and unite the malcontents. They seize upon the ancient Cup of Bishop Lucius of Glastonbury as a way of fragmenting Arthur’s hard-earned kingdom. The ultimate threat to Arthur’s rule lies far closer to home: his own kin will betray him. Celt will slay Celt and the rivers will run with blood. Will all be lost, or can Arthur conquer the mounting forces before it’s too late?
