HTTK first book

                       It is the year 2038, 26 years after the deadly virus the Red Death swept
through the land, taking millions of lives and creating havoc. The age of Modern Man had come to an abrupt halt.

                    Looting and riots came first, then the raging fires that began the destruction of all man had built, within a year the earthquakes began and then the land was given back to Nature. Dressed in green and covered in her carpet of life, the world that had been known slipped below, and was eaten by decay and returned to the land from which it had come.

                      For those that fled the fear of the cities, the people of the countryside were kind and took them in. The winter that year was mild and the plants grew at a far greater rate, than ever before, food and berries were abundant as the country settled into a new way of life. New leaders emerged from the struggling communities and the ways of old returned, the the way of the woodsman crept back after generations of rest.

                      An old faith of the past, now called Earth returned. With it came the prophecies of a lost time, and the words. "Look to the Bowman for he will herald the start of new days," were now spoken across the land.

                       It is the first week of the New Year 2038, and Robbie is sat in the greenhouse of his parents farm deep within the walled stockade of Loxley. He is bored and restless and lost in his thoughts of the red haired girl, with the sapphire blue eyes, who lives a quarter of a mile away in the fourteen houses that form the small village street.

                        He is not aware of the prophecy, or the secrets hidden deep within Rune's line, soon his world will change forever as he discovers the name of the Cutter's leader. His destiny lies beyond the walls of the stockade, as his unnatural talents with a bow take on greater significance.
