Stormrider: First Published 2002.

Synopsis: Stormrider is set in a divided land where the Rigante clans cling to their freedom in the harsh northern Highlands while powerful enemies gather in the south. The story follows Gaise Macon, known among the Rigante as Stormrider, a gifted warrior serving loyally in the king’s army. But an ancient prophecy marks him as the destined downfall of the ruthless Lord Winterbourne, leader of the feared Redeemer Knights. As political betrayal and war spread across the land, Winterbourne seizes power through murder and launches a brutal campaign against those he believes threaten his rule. Hunted by assassins and haunted by personal loss, Gaise is drawn into a growing conflict that places the fate of Eldacre and the Rigante people in jeopardy. At the centre of the struggle lies the legendary skull of Cernunnos, an ancient relic tied to dark supernatural powers and the destiny of both men and kingdoms. Alongside Gaise stands the Moidart, ruler of Eldacre and one of the last defenders of the old ways, as alliances are forged and armies gather for a final confrontation. As the war reaches its climax, prophecy, magic, and sacrifice collide in a battle that will decide not only the future of the Rigante, but the survival of mankind itself.
