Leaving Annwn – A Bittersweet Farewell

The Annwn – Heaven Trilogy: Volume Three

In Leaving Annwn, the third and final instalment of the Annwn Trilogy, we follow the soul of Willy Jones as he approaches the conclusion of a spiritual journey that has taken him far beyond the bounds of life on Earth. It is a tale of resolution, re-union, and reflection – a powerful ending to a story that began with a heart attack on a quiet hillside in Wales.

The Road Home is Never Straight

When we first met Willy in A Night in Annwn, he was a gentle, unassuming farmer who had lived a decent but rather unremarkable life. After death, he found himself in Annwn, the Welsh Otherworld, where the boundaries between dreams, memories, and truths blur. In Life In Annwn, he began to grow spiritually, rediscover lost loved ones, and confront aspects of himself that he’d long buried. Now, in Leaving Annwn, he faces a new decision: stay in paradise, or move forward once again.

Is there life after death… after death?

This book explores the idea that the soul’s journey is never truly over. Annwn has been a place of peace and discovery, but even there, things change. As Willy’s understanding deepens, so too does his sense of duty – not just to himself, but to the people he left behind and those he has helped in the Otherworld.

Welsh Mythology Meets Contemporary Questions

Like its predecessors, Leaving Annwn draws heavily on the ancient myths and cosmology of Wales, particularly the concept of Annwn as a land of reward, healing, and preparation. But unlike many fantasy novels, this story is not about battles or epic quests. It’s about acceptance, reconciliation, and what it means to have truly lived.

Willy’s story resonates with anyone who has experienced loss or wondered what lies beyond the veil. The spiritual themes are universal, yet they remain rooted in the quiet dignity of Welsh tradition.

A Trilogy Completed

With this final chapter, Owen Jones brings Willy’s story to a thoughtful, satisfying conclusion. It is not a grand finale filled with drama, but a soft and moving parting – like a whisper carried on the wind across the Brecon Beacons.

If you’ve read the first two books, Leaving Annwn is an essential and emotional continuation. If you’re new to the trilogy, consider starting with A Night in Annwn to experience the full arc.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
