The Skin Map combines a dangerous search amidst a gripping mystery
A great escape into a world that stretches the mind
Anna Hockley
Eden Christian Books Specialist
‘The Skin Map’ is a time-travelling fantasy like nothing you’ve read before. Let the epic treasure hunt begin.
Kit Livingstone was walking to the train in a storm when his great-grandfather appears and tells him he possesses an inherited gift – to travel between alternate realities. Throughout Britain, ancient monuments are mysteriously aligned in straight lines. These ‘Ley Lines’ are not stuff of legend nor the weekend hobby of history geeks, but doorways which transport you through the cosmos of our multi-layered world, to those who know how to use them.
An explorer of sorts once mapped out his discoveries. Travelling through time and space he developed a roadmap of symbols that he tattooed on his body. Now the Skin Map is thought to hold the single greatest answer to humanities existence – the secrets of the universe. The race has begun in the first book of the Bright Empire five-volume series to recover the missing pieces, uncover its hidden secrets and find the ultimate prize beyond imagining.
Stephen R. Lawhead, acclaimed author of several fantasy series, masterfully criss-crosses many different fiction genres – adventure, ancient history, sci-fi, mystery and philosophy – crafting a page-turning quest that’s out of this world.

Set in 17th century and 21st century London, the Enlightenment-era court of the Hapsburgs, China during the Qing Dynasty and ancient Egypt, Bright Empires is a five-volume fantasy.
In The Skin Map, Kit Livingstone and his great- grandfather, Cosimo, are brought together to find a map originally tattooed on the skin of its author, a seventeenth-century explorer who had discovered the secret of access to other worlds and parallel universes. Malign forces are also after the map and, to the surprise of all, the map proves to be not the end of the quest but its beginning. A far greater prize remains, and a much more dangerous search will need to be undertaken.
