Book excerpt: The discovery of a young girl’s skeleton leads to Simon and Baldwin’s darkest investigation yet... As the summer of 1322 brings sun to the Devonshire countryside, it seems that the small village of Sticklepath is destined to remain in gloom. Two playmates uncover the body of a young girl up on the moors. The body is that of Aline, the ten-year-old daughter of Swetricus, who went missing six years ago. Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King’s Peace, and his friend Bailiff Simon Puttock are summoned to the scene to investigate, and soon discover Aline is not the only young girl to have been found dead in recent years. It seems that the villagers have been concealing not only a serial killer, but, judging by the state of the girls’ bodies, a possible case of cannibalism. But strange noises heard late at night from the Sticklepath cemetery and a haunted look in the eyes of the villagers could suggest an explanation more... supernatural. A dark and compelling historical mystery from a master of the genre. The twelfth instalment in the Last Templar mysteries series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elvish Tradition brought to the light of the mortal world... for the first time ever! An authentic path to Druidism! The original underground bestselling masterpiece returns in a NEW updated, revised & expanded second edition! "Book of Elven-Faerie: The Secrets of Dragon Kings, Druids, Wizards & The Pheryllt" became the genesis of the modern 'Mardukite' movement when privately released by prolific visionary writer, Joshua Free, in 2006. This revolutionary and controversial compendium of lore and magic reveals many things including: * How ancient traditions of Mesopotamia (Sumerians, Babylonians, etc.) evolved into mystical, mythical and societal systems of Western Europe. * How the most arcane practices shaped the customs and beliefs of the Western World. * How modern folk magic can be traced back through the evolution of human civilization as carried by Druidic Tribes, the Tuatha de Dannan and ancient Anunnaki. An entire exploration into the Elven Way, Celtic Faerie Tradition and Danubian Druidism is offered -- such as never seen before. Drawing from hundreds of sources, a reconstructionist Elven-Faerie tradition and system paradigm is presented by critically acclaimed Mardukite Druid, Joshua Free, including two complete grimoires that bring the magic and enchantment of nature, the elemental world, astral plane and woodlands to life. "Book of Elven-Faerie" actually restores the historical basis of the modern 'New Age' movement, resulting from one seeker's pursuits into the origins of the 'Druids'. This compendium includes: "Druids of the Deep," "The Elven-Faerie Grimoire" and "The Greenwood Forest Grimoire."
