Overview: Robert Carter was born exactly five hundred years after the first battle of the Wars of the Roses. He was brought up in the Midlands and later on the shores of the Irish Sea where his forebears hail from. He was variously educated in Britain, Australia and the United States, then worked for some years in the Middle East and remote parts of Africa. He travelled widely in the East before joining the BBC in London in 1982. His interests have included astronomy, pole-arm fighting, canals, collecting armour, steam engines, composing music and enjoying the English countryside, and he has always maintained a keen interest in history. Today he lives in a ‘village’ that only sounds rural – Shepherd’s Bush.
Genre: Fantasy
2. The Giants’ Dance
The epic fantasy “The Language of Stones” trilogy continues. In the peaceful village of Nether Norton life goes on as it has for countless centuries in the Vale. The villagers celebrate the harvest and Will looks back fondly on the last two years, but a feeling of unease is stirring inside him, and seeing an unnatural storm on the horizon he feels that his past is coming back to haunt him.
Four years ago Will cracked the mighty Doomstone in half and so brought the bloody battle of Verlamion to an end. It seemed then that the lust for war in men’s hearts had been calmed forever. But now the light in the sky heralds a new threat, and Will calls on Gwydion, a wizard of deep knowledge and power, once known as Merlyn, for advice. Gwydion suspects the hand of his old enemy, the sorcerer Maskull. The battlestones that are scattered thoughout the Realm are once again working to hasten a devasting war between King Hal and Duke Richard of Ebor – and Maskull intends to manipulate them both to his own sinister ends.
Only, Will, whom Gwydion believes to be an incarnation of King Arthur, has the skill to break the power of the battlestones. When Will last left Nether Norton he was an unworldly youth of thirteen. Now he is a husband and father, he has a lot more to lose. But he has a whole Realm to save.
3. Whitemantle
In the final volume of the epic fantasy, the Language of Stones trilogy, civil war tears the Realm apart and the sorcerer Maskull’s plans to bring about a catastrophe that will rob the world of magic are coming to fruition. The wizard Gwydion knows that the only hope for the future lies with Willand, the young man he believes to be the reincarnation of King Arthur.
But Will is beset with doubts. He is being stalked by the Dark Child, the twin from whom he was separated at birth and who now serves Maskull. And as the magic gradually begins to fade from the world, the powers of Gwydion, his mentor and friend seem to be fading too, leading Will to despair that the destruction of the war will ever be halted, or Maskull ever defeated.
Will’s task seems impossible, but he is not ready to give up yet. With the help of his strong-minded wife, Willow, and friends as wise and generous as the loremasters Morann and Gort, Will journeys the Realm seeking his destiny. And soon it becomes clear that only by solving the riddle of his own destiny can he save the world he loves so deeply.
