Tim is fourteen now, and he has just learned something that changes everything. His dad’s death at sea may not have been an accident.
With old friends and new ones beside him, Tim starts asking questions. The answers take him back to the hidden cave in the sea cliffs, and the magical hopscotch board waiting inside.
He takes the leap.
This time he lands in the Lake District of the Vikings and Celts, with an Anglo-Saxon invasion on its way. To find the truth about his dad, Tim must crack a mysterious Viking code and work out who he can trust among people whose loyalties run deep.
As a great battle draws closer, can Tim solve the mystery before time runs out? And what will he discover about himself along the way?
Join Tim on his second time-slip adventure, into the wild Viking age of the Lake District.
