IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, HEROES ARISE!
The Eternal Conflict between the Light and Dark once again blackens the skies and blights the land. On one side stand the Tuatha de Danaan, golden-skinned and beautiful, filled with all the might of angels. On the other are the Fomorii, monstrous devils hell-bent on destroying all human existence. And in the middle are the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons, determined to use the strange power that binds them to the land in a last, desperate attempt to save the human race.
Church, Ruth, Ryan, Laura, and Shavi have joined forces with Tom, a hero from the mists of time, to wage a guerrilla war against the iron rule of the gods. But they didn't count on things going from bad to worse ...
Darkest Hour is the stunning continuation of a powerful fantasy saga by one of Britain's most acclaimed young writers.

The last word on the real meaning of Arthurian mythology:
Mark Chadbourn embarked on an unprecedented depth of historical research and a detailed examination of real-world prehistoric sites around the UK to provide a compelling background to his work of fiction. His studies bring to light hidden connections among myth, the Arthurian romances, folklore, and history, challenging the reader to draw the line between truth and imagination.

Reviews:
"Chadbourn's sequel to World's End embellishes the richness of Celtic mythology while turning the modern world on its head. Appealing characters and vivid storytelling make this a good choice for readers of Celtic-laced fantasy."
—Library Journal
“[A]n edge of the seat, highly credible, page turner which I found compulsive reading ...essential dark fantasy.” — SFSite.com
