1895.The discovery of a dead woman in a derelict Norfolk country house is the first of many seemingly unrelated events facing Chief Inspector Corrick.When a mysterious civil servant becomes involved,the investigation takes a whole new direction and a string of macabre deaths are somehow linked.But the evidence is misleading, and worse,it's impossible to believe. 1910.Among the sand dunes of the Northumberland coast a young lad,James Kinghorn,discovers an ancient ceremonial archway that transports him to another place, another world. He has stumbled upon the magical and arcane world of Eldaterra. Hidden by the deep magic of Creation,Eldaterra has desperate need of James.Something is amiss between the two worlds,threatening to tear the veil that protects the Old World from the New.James,with the help of some astonishing friends,must save the worlds from the evil machinations of unseen enemies.Somehow these disparate events are entwined and lead to the greatest threat that mankind has ever faced,a plot that will envelop both worlds in an unthinkable war... Set against the backdrop of the 20th Century,'Unearthly History' recounts the events surrounding the demise of one of Earth's greatest secrets,Eldaterra.An arcane world of sorcery,Eldaterra has remained hidden for millenna behind a veil of deep magic.The world of man - with science, religion and free will - is an unwitting protagonist.For each to survive they must be kept apart.Yet the ambitions of some would end the separation, and plunge both worlds into chaos and war,changing forever the Earth in ways we do not know. . .
