Ross Lawhead in his new book “The Realms Thereunder” Book One in The Ancient Earth Trilogy published by Thomas Nelson introduces us to the world of Nidergeard.

There is a land beneath Great Britain where visitors do not go.  While on a school trip both Daniel Tully and Freya Reynolds were taken there and, in an effort to prevent the two worlds colliding the two are sent on a quest.  Now eight years later it is happening again and both Daniel and Freya are needed to stop the mythical world from taking over ours.

I think Ross Lawhead has done a great job of taking lots of old British mythology and weaving all of them into his novel.  There is much to learn about Nidergeard and the sleeping knights who are there to protect it when the need arises.  “The Realms Thereunder” is a fantasy adventure where the battle for good and evil has never been so important.  The freedom of our world is as stake and we cannot afford to lose.  This is a page turning thriller as the war of light against darkness rages.  In these pages there is much to learn of mythology and, I think, Mr. Lawhead has taught us well.  I recommend this book highly!
