Thirteen years after the strange events at Lushbury, Tim Herring returns home and is pulled back into the old mystery. A familiar enemy is working to seize control of time itself, and the stakes are now enormous.
Series background & context
At the heart of Power of the Stones is Tim Herring, an ordinary boy whose move to the village of Lushbury turns out to be anything but ordinary. The setting matters from the first pages. Lushbury sits close to Stonehenge, and Scott Hunter leans hard into the strange pull of the landscape, the standing stones, and the sense that old places may be keeping secrets older than memory. This is fantasy, but it begins with the very solid unease of arriving somewhere new and realising the place does not behave as it should.
Stonehenge is not just scenery here.
In The Ley Lines of Lushbury, Tim starts noticing things that make no sensible sense. There is a mysterious girl named Domino hiding in his garden. Birds fly in unnervingly straight lines. Church bells ring even though the church has been derelict for years. He also finds himself marked out in ways he does not understand. The book plays this as adventure, mystery, and a touch of creepiness all at once. The secret beneath the stones opens the story out from local oddness to world-sized danger.
What makes the series work is that Hunter keeps one foot in the everyday. Tim is not a hero who begins with answers. He is curious, confused, frightened, and then brave because the situation leaves him no comfortable alternative. Domino adds wonder and uncertainty, and much of the tension comes from trying to work out what is really happening before the ancient forces at work can close around them.
Winter Solstice picks up thirteen years later, which gives the series a different rhythm. Tim is now an adult, returning to his family home for something as ordinary as trying to salvage an old Morris Minor. Then the old mystery opens again. He is pulled across time, reunited with someone he had half convinced himself was only a childhood fantasy, and forced to face the truth that the events in Lushbury were real. The enemy known as Adrian Masota is back in play, and the stakes grow from one village's secret to control over time itself.
The scale gets bigger, but the books never lose their roots in fields, stones, and old roads.
This is a series for readers who like British fantasy with old monuments, hidden histories, strange weather, and danger that rises out of the land itself. It is written with younger readers in mind, but the appeal is not age-limited. The stories are brisk, eerie in the right places, and full of the sense that the modern world is thinner than it looks. If you want Stonehenge, folklore, time-slip adventure, and a hero who has to grow into the weirdness around him, Power of the Stones does exactly that.
