The Girl With Green Eyes

By Ken Peter Kirk

In 1622 Scotland, ten-year-old Logan Grant's life transforms when Wild Flower - a mysterious six-year-old with extraordinary abilities - arrives at her grandfather's fortified stronghouse. Logan tries to hate the newcomer, but quickly discovers that she is far more than she appears to be. She is, in fact, a time traveller born 829 years earlier, blessed with prophetic visions and the power to exist in the past, present and future.

Wild Flower reveals to Logan that she has a glorious destiny. Though Logan is just a child, she begins absorbing knowledge and abilities from her future self. She trains with a sword under the expert tutelage of her grandfather's Sergeant-at-Arms, Michael Deedigan and with Wild Flower's help, she secretly learns swordcraft from a legend of the past.

When Logan's grandfather becomes entangled in a dangerous plot involving two English conspirators, Howison and Dalry, Logan and Wild Flower must navigate a treacherous journey to protect the Queen of the West. The conspirators claim to bear documents from King James, but their true mission is far more sinister. They plan to disgrace the queen or, failing that, to kill her.

As Logan travels with the plotters, as their hostage, she discovers her ability to slip between time periods and witnesses herself at critical points in her life at the ages of sixteen and twenty. As the boundaries between her present and future selves blur, she comes to realise that what will happen has, in some sense, already happened.
With Wild Flower's mystical guidance and Deedigan's unwavering protection, Logan must embrace both her childhood innocence and her powerful destiny.

As the story unfolds, Logan discovers the ancient writings of the philosopher Noory McGregor that foretell Scotland's future independence. She learns that, one day, her own grandfather will restore the honour to the disgraced Clan Grant. She also encounters the MacDonald forces - fanatically loyal to the Queen of the West - led by Finlay and Heather.
The story culminates in a deadly confrontation where Logan must fully become her future self to thwart the assassination of the Queen of the West but - in a world where past, present and future intertwine - nothing is quite as it seems.

This is a tale of destiny, courage, and the power of time itself, The Girl With Green Eyes weaves Scottish history with fantasy to create an unforgettable story of a girl who must grow up too fast to save her world, while somehow remaining exactly who she was always meant to be.
