The Thread of Kindness. Book Three: Bernard: A Tale Through Time - Jim Maratty

An ancient soul on a Triumph Thunderbird. A centuries-old secret. And the thread that connects us all.

For Bernard, the rolling, windswept roads of Dartmoor usually bring peace. The steady, powerful thrum of his 1600cc Triumph Thunderbird is the perfect escape from the heavy weight of his memories. But tonight, as the sun dips below the Devon sky, the sadness and regret are too loud to ignore-and he's genuinely kicking himself for missing the local ice cream van.

Looking for a sweet distraction, Bernard pulls up to the legendary Jolly Roger and Josie's cafe in Bovey Tracey. Surrounded by a wonderland of breathtaking, lifesize models and incredible displays, Bern sits down for a quiet treat. But tonight, his mind is traveling far beyond Devon.

Because Bernard is no ordinary biker. He is a crucial part of an ancient, hidden world-woven tightly into the very same "Thread of Kindness" that powers Odie and Friggy's legendary travels. While Odie shares his secrets over pints in a bustling Welsh market, Bernard's story is carved into the lonely moors, ancient battlefields, and the deeply human moments of history that time tried to forget.

In this captivating third installment of The Thread of Kindness series, prepare to ride alongside Bernard as he unreels his own past:
