Synopsis

After being sucked through a portal in No Man's Land during the First World War Battle of Mons, Royal Flying Corps observer Kerne finds himself in another world, fighting for his life against his unpredictable pilot - Madoc, who has become the Iron King. Modern weapons of war have been introduced to the Bronze Age realm of the ancestors with devastating results. Kerne must learn the ways of the Windsmith, a magician of sacred sound who can summon winds, with the help of Merlin, his feathered guide, if he is to stop his power-mad companion. The power of words is set against the power of swords in a deadly battle for control of Shadow World, Earth's symbiotic twin. War comes to the land of the dead, and only one of the airmen can live if both worlds are not to be torn apart by their anomalous presence.
