Through the Glass Darkly

By Bill Patterson

Rusted Lantern Series

Dive into a fast-paced, character-driven historical adventure where the past and present collide. Follow Jason Hanson, a teenage surfer from San Diego, as he is unwittingly pulled back in time to confront unresolved events that still shape the modern world. From the rugged beauty of the Coronado Islands to the storied halls of the Hotel Del Coronado and the streets of Old Town, every location holds secrets, danger, and history waiting to be unraveled.

Across the series, Jason faces mysterious and malevolent forces-pirates, ruthless ranchers, and shadowy figures whose actions echo through time-while another central character grapples with personal trauma that intertwines with the unfolding mysteries. Fast-paced, suspenseful, and richly detailed, the Rusted Lantern Series invites readers into an epic journey of courage, discovery, and the haunting pull of the past.
