A shadow loomed over the Gorbals in September 1954 as rumours suggested a sinister creature stalked the night. While hundreds of children armed themselves with weapons to defeat the menace, another's life was changed forever.

But home is where the heart is, and Catherine longs to return to her beloved Scotland. Will her new leader allow it, or will she become another captive pawn in his quest to remould the world in his image?
