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.
