The Sacred Ash

What if a man was transported ninety years into the past, and thousands of miles away, into the body of a child, with no memories other than a vague feeling of destiny? A mid-summer's nightmare opens The Sacred Ash: A Modern Myth in Three Seasons, forcing Stephen Elwin to travel through fire and into the past. He is magically propelled into the body of a pre-World War Two Danish child, Jens. The boy has paranormal capabilities and an overwhelming sense of destiny: he struggles through German occupation, eventually as part of the underground resistance movement. Meanwhile, back in the future, we meet Stephen's two children, Heather and William, and their new stepbrother, Howard. Howard has multiple personalities, and because of extensive drug use and brain trauma, has become capable of transfiguring himself physically into many alternate personalities. Summer ends with a horrific and vicious murder. Autumn continues the post-war life of Jens, and his relationship with a gypsy refugee and concentration camp survivor. She makes it to Canada, and late in her life, gives birth to a son who may well be the saviour of the Elwin family. Meanwhile, Heather, suicidal and hopelessly addicted to drugs, is kidnapped by the embodiment of evil. In Winter, Heather's life spins out of control as her entire world disintegrates into chaos. The Sacred Ash: A Modern Myth in Three Seasons is a tale of the clash between Norse mythology and Christianity, and the scepticism that either even exists; the Old World meets the New World in an epic struggle between good and evil. The Sacred Ash is the key to solving life's mysteries, and may also be the solution to preventing Armageddon. The Sacred Ash: A Modern Myth in Three Seasons is a thrilling adventure teeming with mythical allusions and religious symbolism.
