Isambard Kerne and Amelia Earhart reach Hyperborea, the Land Beyond the
North Wind, where the windsmith must master the secret of the Boreas if he is to
escape Shadow World – but first he must save it. In an alternative 1940s Great
Britain, Kerne is confronted by a dystopian version of his precious homeland –
laid waste by prejudice, pollution, and fear. The country is ruled by the fascist
army of the White Dragon. Kerne must undertake a perilous journey into the far
north to become Hyperion, Lord of the Winds, if he is to defeat Aveldra and the
Agents of Discord once and for all. The spirit of the Battle of Britain is kindled as
the fate of a kingdom is fought for in the air between Spitfires and fire-breathing
dragons. In the hour of his country’s greatest need, a King returns – fulfilling an
ancient prophecy – but is it too late? The lost of history clash in this epic finale
of The Windsmith Elegy.

This Fearful Tempest – The Windsmith Elegy Vol. 5
FICTION
‘Kevan Manwaring writes in the bardic tradition of English prose, one which honours the vision of our landscape as sacred ground and knows that our lives and history are at their most intense when lived in close relation to its claims on the soul. His Windsmith Elegy represents and impressive and substantial body of work.’
Lindsay Clarke
'I have read all 5 books several times ... Tolkien would have appreciated these books.'
