The first of three books in The Spanish Gatekeeper series, Empire of the Ulfair introduces Peter de Soto, an English schoolboy, and his cousin, Bonifacia Espasande. The summer of 1900, Peter vacations at his aunt’s home in northern Spain. A family heirloom steeped in Galician folklore provides the key to unlocking a backyard mystery. In an apparent case of mistaken identity Peter and his cousin are lured to a far-off world inhabited by fairytale creatures and wolf-like Ulfair. Caught in a shattering civil war, the pair are driven apart and forced to travel starkly different roads that may never again intersect. What ensues are entwined tales of adventure, romance, ignominy, and courage, flush with creatures both familiar and unfamiliar.

A captivating and inventive story that plays on history and is written in the best traditions of Wells, Verne and Rider Haggard. This is old-school science fiction fantasy crafted with all the advantages of 21st century perspective.  Read a selection    View Map    World Chronology & Notes

The second book in The Spanish Gatekeeper series, Gwellem’s Hitch picks up the story of cousins Peter and Bonifacia, marooned on a distant planet. Peter has two overriding objectives—to reunite with Bonifacia who has been torn from his side and to find the “wizard” Thomajun, who is said to hold the key to the portal home. Peter’s mistaken identity has landed him responsibility for the princess royal—last of the Ulfair royal house—and obliged him to make the difficult trek to Bakus Sura before he can even hope to achieve his aims. Likewise, Bonifacia wants to get home, but her attempt has cost the freedom of her friend Gemesh, an acquisitive Gno’man, and jeopardized the life of the young akritar, Henrik, who has received a virtual death sentence at the hands of the seafaring Weshnut.

Five years have elapsed since Bonifacia and Peter were marooned on TNX-37B. Unable to locate his beloved cousin or the “wizard” Thomajun, Peter carves out a new life for himself in the military service of Bakus Sura. Bonifacia, meanwhile, has embraced the rough life of a seafaring Weshnut and is flourishing as a “Samkan Loyalist.” The foundations of Gwellem civilization are weakened by the collapse of the Empire and the Weshnut dominion. It is an unexpected opportunity for the Og’yre queen to reassert her power. Once again, combined Og’yre and Madærgal armies are on the march! Ósir technology may offer the only real hope for turning the tide. The search for Thomajun is renewed. At long last, a doorway back to Earth beckons, but at what cost?
