Forbidden Forest

Forbidden Forest was my second supernatural story, and the

first written for Na No Wri Mo.

Rosamund Leigh, the last in the line of the Witches of Leigh, and

Malcolm Forrester, last in the line of ancient foresters who hold

in trust the last of the mystical forests in the land, meet on a

train and begin a whirlwind ride pursued by the Druid Merlin.

Malcolm discovers that there is history between his family and

that of the house of Leigh, both linked by the dark presence of

the ancient Druid.

This is a story of dark fantasy turning our usual view of

Arthurian legend completely on its head providing the reader

with an insight into what it would have been like if Arthur

Pendragon had not been the benevolent wise King of Legend,

and his trusty blade Excalibur not the shining talisman of which

we have alsways been led to believe.
