Jack Churchill, archaeologist and dreamer, walks out of the mist and into Celtic Britain more than two thousand years before he was born, with no knowledge of how he got there. All Jack wants is to get home to his own time where the woman he loves waits for him. Finding his way to the timeless mystical Otherworld, the home of the gods, he plans to while away the days, the years, the millennia, until his own era rolls around again . . . but nothing is ever that simple. A great Evil waits in modern times and will do all in its power to stop Jack’s return. In a universe where time and space are meaningless, its tendrils stretch back through the years. Through Roman times, the Elizabethan age, Victoria’s reign, the Second World War, and the Swinging Sixties, the Evil sets its traps to destroy Jack. Mark Chadbourn gives us a high adventure of dazzling sword fights, passionate romance, and apocalyptic wars in the days leading up to Ragnarok, the End-Times: a breathtaking, surreal vision of twisting realities where nothing is quite what it seems.

Mayhem erupts in Ravens Bluff—and it’s up to one rogue to stop it—in this first of four standalone novels, each set in a mighty city of Faerûn Jack Ravenwild is a charming ne'er-do-well with as much ambition as he has skill. But for the first time ever, his designs have far exceeded his talents—plunging him into a dangerous and complex web of intrigue that may put an end to his days of skulduggery and adventure. When a beautiful woman named Alana commissions Jack to find a lost book, he readily accepts, intent on winning her heart. But in his quest to retrieve the book, Jack uncovers Alana's true intentions—and becomes entrapped in other dangerous pursuits. Suddenly, Jack finds himself caught in the middle of a search for lost dwarven treasure and a conspiracy to seize the reins of power through the nobility's Game of Masks. Worse yet, Jack must choose between a life of freedom and saving Ravens Bluff, a city he doesn't even know he loves.

Freed from imprisonment at last, the roguish Jack Ravenwild finds that even one century isn’t enough to quash old grudges After a hundred years, Jack Ravenwild—thief, sorcerer, scoundrel, and accidental hero—is released from a magical confinement, only to fall into the hands of the marquise Dresimil Chûmavh, ruler of an exiled drow clan who sees an opportunity in Jack. Through guile and subterfuge, the wily Jack escapes the drow to discover a new world waiting in his old stomping grounds, Raven's Bluff, a city equally abounding in fortune and danger. Unfortunately for Jack, he is best at stirring up the latter. His former archenemy, the Warlord Myrkyssa Jelan, is at large—and she isn't the type to forgive and forget. And worst of all, the drow aren't done with Jack and they mean to get him back.
