For thousands of years, Glastonbury Tor, or Glaston
Tor, has been a place of myth, legend, and religious devotion, a place of
secrets. The ancient Isle of Avalon, a place associated with the very dawn of
Christianity in the British Isles.
The Secret of Glaston Tor is the first book in the series of Glaston Chronicles by Catholic author Donal Foley.
Fifteen year
old Matt Bergin is staying in Glastonbury
for Christmas with his cousins, Luke and Annie Martin. Matt feels drawn to
Glastonbury Tor, and St Michael’s Tower, which crowns its summit. The cousins
learn the secret of Glaston Tor and find themselves propelled back in time to
1940s France and the Second World War.
They are
given a mission by an enigmatic stranger, who asks them to help a young German
couple and their son escape from wartime France. But the fearsome Gestapo
are on their trail.
Matt and
his cousins will discover that their destinies are intimately linked to this
family, and to a mysterious young stranger who will stop at nothing to learn
their secret.
With a
compelling plot, captivating characters, suspense, excitement and ever-present
danger, The Secret of Glaston Tor will take you on an incredible journey into
the past, present, and future – and into the never-ending battle between good and
evil.
