In this prequel to The Standing Ground, we travel back two generations to the origins of the oppressive E-Government state that gradually infiltrates every aspect of people's lives in the decade following Brexit and global pandemic. But as the darkness overtakes Britain and other areas of Europe, the light of residence wakes in a community that spans the Celtic outposts of Brittany and North Wales. And in a strange child, Myrddin Emrys, who has also been known as Merlin.

Weaving together Arthurian legend and exploratory fiction of the near future, The Roots of the Ground explores the human cost of monocultures that trample freedom and privacy and asserts with Carl Jung that:

'As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.'

The Roots of the Ground is Book 2 of The Standing Ground Trilogy,
