Something is moving at the back of the Universe. The older races of Earth know it, but the one who must follow it to its source is oblivious. Until, the trauma of a hit-and-run accident flings Sara Parkinson into a maelstrom of drama and intrigue. An impossible rescue at the dead of night, encounters with bizarre allies in the oddest of places - Sara fails to link these disparate events. But destiny brings Karmel, a troubled genius whose coming will test her to the far limits. Pursued by the implacable Mawdrik who covet what she can lead them to, her journey takes her from the rains of the English Lakes to the heat and passion of Spanish Granada, to exotic new worlds and a realm beyond reason where she must unlock a secret that must never be shared. From cigar-smoking trolls to fine cuisine on alien worlds, from flamenco to the depths of space and the horrors of parallel realities, The Name of Seven is an unforgettable adventure of cosmic implications.
