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 Dark Tower is the second in a series of fictional works, The Glaston Chronicles, by Catholic author Donal Foley, featuring Matt Bergin and his cousins, Luke and Annie Martin.

Safe back from their time-traveling exploits in Second World War France, the Cousins find themselves drawn into a new adventure in the twenty-first century, but one involving their old adversary, Emil Schwarzen, who is now an aged and extremely wealthy entrepreneur styling himself as Lord Edgar Blackly.

They travel to Switzerland, to Emil’s Castle, and it’s strong point, the Dark Tower, a place with a troubling past, and one which the forces of evil are using again in a new and deadly way.

Matt and his cousins discover that Emil is not only rich, but also very corrupt, and they find themselves up against almost overwhelming dark forces as they undergo a terrifying final struggle with Emil and his partisans of evil.

The Dark Tower, like its predecessor, The Secret of Glaston Tor, is the story a battle between good and evil which has a fascinating plot, enthralling characters, suspense, excitement and ever-present danger.
