The Skifter

by Martin Turner

Overview

Magic breathed from a thousand years catches 12 year old Scott Raynall in an adventure beyond his imagination across frozen wastes that traverse not only middle England, but time itself. Catapulted into a quest to save his mother, he skifts through time, facing sword, cannon, ghosts and deep enchantment.

Setting off with new found friend Gavin Knight — a man who Scott perceives already to be more than he seems — he travels back through time witnessing the Civil War, the execution of Piers Gaveston, and finally the depredations of Stephen and Mathilda's Anarchy. But it is the intertwining of Arthur's realm Logres and the enchantresses of Avalon that becomes Scott's most pressing concern, and his quest to save his mother quickly becomes a desperate adventure to save time itself.

About the Author

Martin Turner lives with his wife Marjolein in a tower near the river Avon. With a head stuffed with Arthurian legend and Middle English poetry, he set off into the wilds to write The Skifter about a boy who struggles through the threads of time to rescue his mother from a castle that should not have existed.
He writes: "All the characters and scenes in The Skifter are made up, and all of them are based on real incidents and real people. Especially the sword fights, which are from first hand experience."
