The Warden Cross is an adventure story about Jonathan Warden, a teenage boy who is thrown back in time to the ancient village where his family began. During his time there, he has to face a number of mentally and physically challenging tests. Although he is not as strong or fit as the other village boys, he has the advantage of a few hidden modern items and knowledge to help him and with a lot of luck, plus more than a little help from a number of people, Jonathan gains the trust of the village elder Gum-gum and the villagers and becomes a man, a hunter, and a tribal leader. He then finds out why he has been sent back-to save his ancestors from the druid who had other plans for him and his family. Then on his return back to the present day, he finds that the enemy's descendants have pursued his family through the ages and are now trying to destroy his modern-day family, and only Jonathan is aware of the plot against his family, but can he save the family again?
