The Legacy of the Jaded Hart
On their 18th birthday, twins Ellie and Tom each receive a surprise-a legacy from the paternal grandmother they never knew existed. When the twins find themselves stalked by a mysterious figure, they feel the need for a change in scenery. A trip to the countryside to meet the father they believe abandoned them seems to be the perfect solution to the stalker problem. The twins soon realize there’s more to their father than meets the eye. They discover he is a member of an ancient sect dedicated to tracking down ‘The Jaded Hart’-a demonic stag of legend. Meanwhile, The JadedHart is intent on finding the twins for its own reasons. For Ellie and Tom, a simple trip to meet their father soon turns into a deadly hunt. The only problem? They have no idea who is the hunter and who is the prey!
D. B. Carter lives with his family on the edge of a small town nestled amongst the rolling hills of rural Devon, England.
The son of two nomadic artists, he grew up in a world of creativity, studying painting techniques under his parents’ tutelage. In his 20s, he went to university and followed a career in science and later commerce, running his own business for twenty years.
A lifelong bibliophile, he is firmly of the opinion that there is no such thing as too many books, only insufficient shelf space; it was his love of classical literature, of Dickens and Brontë, that led to the creation of “The Cherries.”
His philosophy is, “If we look for the good, we will find it.”
