Plot

Horror writer Richard Kaine has just succeeded in writing his first best selling novel, Wintersong, about a medieval nature worshiping cult that is destroyed by an organization named the Blackburne Covenant. While celebrating, Richard begins to exhibit the supernatural ability to contact a lifeforce of nature called the Greenway. The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times, beginning with the Renaissance. ...


Over the course of the series Richard discovers that his novel is not the fiction he thought it was. He must discover just what the Greenway is and survive the assassination attempts by agents of the still existing Blackburne Covenant.
