The Braes are Bonnie

By Judy Peters

Sir Christopher Hardwicke had hoped that the worst of the Great War was the final reckoning he'd ever hear. By 1929 the world was promising combustion engines and quiet seasons - until a beaten Danish heir turns up with a story of theft, a blood oath, and Robbie chimes in with a a carved lapis tablet which tells of a father lost somewhere beyond the Burmese border.

Drawn into a tangle of old promises and new politics, Kit and his household - Robbie the restless hero, Mack the photographer, Rowan the witch, and a pair of uncanny dogs-must shelter the heir and his daughter's secret at Inverie and then on the wind-bent island of Seljar. Their quiet defences are useless against Gervaise de Lioncour, a man shaped by war to hunt without mercy.

On Seljar, folklore wakes: kelpies answer summons, islanders rise as ancient guardians, and the old oath flashes like a blade. Can this ragged band keep a family safe, unmask a murderous past, and survive a man who will stop at nothing? The answer is written on a stone - and only those who dare follow its tide will ever learn the truth.
