About this listen

Late one evening, en route to visit a relative, an accident leaves Tory - the attractive, twenty-something daughter of a prominent history professor - stranded near a ring of stones in Britain. Tory resolves to spend the night at the stone circle and seek help in the morning. But across the vortex of time and space, she is taken back to the Dark Age. There she meets Prince Maelgwn of Gwynedd and his band of warriors.

Initially her 'strange' appearance frightens them and they believe she is the notorious witch fabled to frequent the site. But she overcomes their fear and soon the tales of her adventures, brave deeds and beauty spread across the land.

Critic Reviews

"The first volume of 'The Ancient Future' trilogy by Traci Harding, "The Dark Age" is the story of Tory, a young woman who upon standing within a sacred British 'Ring of Stones' on a Solstice evening finds herself plunged back in time to ancient Britain where she encounters Prince Maelgwn of Gwyneed, his allies and his foes, as well as an incarnation of the fabled wizard Merlyn. A riveting novel of adventure, magic, time-travel, and true love, "The Dark Age" will leave listeners eagerly awaiting the rest of the trilogy. Ably narrated by Edwina Wren, this complete and unabridged audiobook production is technically flawless and highly recommended for personal and community library audiobook collections." (Midwest Book Review)

This is an all time favourite book of mine.

The entire trilogy is well written and full of amazing characters and imagery. I fell in love with this book in high school and read it often.

A captivating adventure

This story has it all! A love story through the ages, mystical realms & a kick arse lead character. A great listen and I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

A great start to one of my favourite book series

Edwina wren does a great job of narrating this book. As one of my favourite book series, its been great listening to it from the beginning.

The series starts off pretty romancy but develops into a strong fantasy/scifi blended with spirituality. I admit theres some things i dont like but overall its a fun adventure with characters you love and hate.

Fantastic book I couldn't stop listening

This book has a fantastic way of explaining so many things, to some it may seem like a good fantasy book but to others it has so much knowledge to be taken away and explains what is happening on earth regarding energies etc.
I can't word it properly but I loved this book, cant wait to read the next.

where it all began

my dad gave me a book one afternoon, said you might like this, it was The Ancient Future, The Dark Age by Traci Harding, I devoured it before the weekend was through. That was the book that drew me toward Traci's books, Trazling and to meet her in person. I love the Chosen Series. Happy Reading.
