The Age of Misrule trilogy imagines what would happen if the gods and monsters of Celtic mythology suddenly returned to modern Britain. Starting with World’s End (1999), the series follows five ordinary people who are thrust into a conflict between ancient supernatural forces. Technology breaks down as the old magic grows stronger.

The trilogy continued with Darkest Hour (2000) and concluded with Always Forever (2002). It established Chadbourn’s signature blend of modern settings with mythological depth and led to two follow-up series set in the same world.
