The Valley 1

The Valley 1: Fintan's Tale is the first part of an historical fiction based around the ancient 'Michael and Mary' energy lines in Cornwall UK. Two-thousand years ago young Fintan, a tanner's boy, is given a gift by a passing stranger. A strange flower gives him the ability to heal through the manipulation of energy. There is a witch who knows what he has. She wants his power and tracks down his hiding place. Fintan is adopted by Lugh, a Chieftan at Castledore, from where the Celtic overlord controls the gold route through Cornwall. Apprenticed to the medicine man, the boy inhabits what is now the beautiful Fowey River Valley in Cornwall, UK. He learns the ways of foraging, picking and storing plants and herbs, the seasons of the sun and the moon. With his gift, he heals all who come to him. Fintan discovers the special places in this beautiful valley where an ancient power resides in the granite. He learns to see the ancient forces of power that lie slumbering in the earth. He discovers hidden secrets of water and how the ancient power can be woken and stored for use by mankind. Dark forces gather in the valley as raiders find out about the gold and Fintan is caught right the middle of a battle for possession. He has been waiting two thousand years to tell you his story.
