Defenders: Pitch Invasion - The Conkers Collection

My name is Seth. I can see into the past. And I can feel the horror.
Seth and his mum have escaped to a Cornish seaside town. But life there is unsettled by the ebb and flow of people from the past - and the present.
An Iron Age hill fort haunts Seth with brutal visions. He sees rotten heads on

stakes, war-torn travellers seeking refuge, incomers cowed by fear ...
Can Seth find the courage to settle past hostilities and create hope for the future?
