Synopsis

Book One of The Hag-stone Chronicles.

On their first night in Aunt Aggie s cottage on the Hebridean Isle of Tiree, Merryn and Hamish McQueen begin an exciting, but terrifying adventure. Finding a carved box containing a necklace of sea-beans and hag-stones, Merryn discovers that she possesses The Gift. Inherited from her great-great-great-great-grandmother, Merryn McQueen, she is able to connect with magical beings, both benevolent and malevolent.

With her brother s help, she embarks on a mission to save a horse called Kester. Trapped in a fencepost by a witch, Kester can be released by Merryn between midnight and sunrise. Riding through successive nights, she and Hamish are hindered by Aunt Aggie s strict rules, and beset by the witch s increasingly powerful spells. Selkies and Fairy Folk pledge their help, but not until seemingly impossible challenges have been met. Kester and the children travel to Highland locations; the famous Ringing Stone and the beach of Traigh nan Gilean, where we will finally discover whether Kester will be freed and where his true identity will be revealed.
