Set to hit the bookshelves next week and already described as a gripping page-turner, The Secret of Skara Vhore is the first in a fantasy trilogy that details the battle between good and evil, as well as the loyalty among friends.
Set in the Highlands, the book will appeal to teenagers interested in dark supernatural fiction. It focuses on Katie, a lost and troubled teenager who is claimed by distant relatives and is dispatched to the remote Scottish island of Farinsay. Distrustful of the world, she slowly accepts the friendship of perceptive Morag, mischievous Robbie and reticent Kirig, a strange boy who lives in the hills. But ghostly events threaten them as past time spills into the present.
Katie bravely struggles to uncover her forgotten history but then is asked to risk the lives of those she loves in order to battle against the forces of chaos and fulfil her destiny.
