An Immortal Quest — Historical Fantasy from Roman Britannia to Ancient Greece
When Nico, immortal by pure mischance, locks eyes with Elly on a riverbank in Roman Britannia, their souls recognise each other instantly. In an extraordinary moment, she witnesses the exact moment his love begins.
But Nico is immortal and Elly is not. He has spent centuries learning to accept what cannot be changed. He will not accept this. His search for a way to make her immortal is not without cost.
Elly and Prim are inseparable. What the three find together is tender and joyful — a golden summer under canvas, travelling the roads of Roman Britannia, with a happiness so complete it aches. Then the Mediterranean calls. On a Greek island, above limestone cliffs with Ithaca shimmering on the horizon, life is glorious.
When Elly feels his power surge through her body, she wants to roar with primal glory. She still does. What began as longing has become obsession, and that obsession now frightens her.
This historical fantasy has emotional depth and a profound central relationship. It arrives at them through historical adventure, philosophical exploration, and genuine darkness. The world feels inhabited, its daily life rich with texture, pleasure and humour.

What Readers Are Saying
"Soon realised that you were a very good writer, read your book which I enjoyed to the extent that when I had to. Can't wait for the next one."- Grace Griffiths - Emails 23/07/2025 & 8/05/2026Returning Review
Review of Odyssey (Book Two)
"Having read Book One, I greeted the returning characters like old friends I was glad to see again. Odyssey is an interesting and unusual story, written beautifully and often holding the reader in a state of anticipation. What impressed me most, though, was the way the author writes, at times moving me emotionally, and leading me to the conclusion that he has a lovely soul. The author's impressive knowledge across many subjects is evident throughout, and the book is clearly well researched. An original story, beautifully told and an all-round good read."
- Theresa Rothwell - Email 9/02/2026 & Facebook 9 May 2026Review of Awakening & Odyssey
"An engaging and cheerful read with an ingenious plot and a deep understanding of human nature. The unfolding mystery of the [spoiler] experiments and the question of immortality keep the tension high, while the journeys across Britain, Greece, and France, along with the banter of the threesome, add richness and texture. The supporting characters are vividly drawn, with Stephanos standing out in particular. The animals have big personalities and feel fully part of the story, and the author's knowledge of the sea and seamanship brings convincing realism throughout. A highly enjoyable and immersive novel that kept me turning the pages."Returning Review
"Awakening pulled me in from the start and I have now read all three books. What a delight being transported through time, through history and topped with a helping of romance and immortality. The plot is igenious [sic] and the multiple settings for the story are vividly described . The main characters are endearing and I love the way the animals are inclusive and have their very own personalities. The expert knowledge of sailing gives the book a grounded authencity [sic] you don't often find in historical novels plus it is an easy read."
"Your writing is very vivid and stimulates the imagination! When I read a book a good way of knowing if I like it is when I start to see and be there in the story. By the end I could really see it all and was there. I was absorbed in the story by the end and wanting more."- Glenda Crew - Emails 18/08.2025 & 21/07/2025Returning Review
"Have read all three and they kept me wanting more. Great books ! I think once people have read the first story they will want to read the other two to find out what happens. I know I did!! I would have told you if I hadn't enjoyed the story as I don't believe in just saying things to make people happy. If something has value like your books do then I am happy to support them!"
