A suspenseful and intriguing Young Adult fantasy about two, Scottish orphans -Filestra and Gylarian - on their way through a late fall's darkness to the legend-enshrouded home of their grandparents - FARANELL CASTLE! Drama spawns adventure as the children delve into Faranell's mysteries, drawn by the legend of a wizard creator and a fabled treasure whose key lies hidden in the words of a mysterious poem. What magic - and what perils! - guard the castle's secrets? And can they be deciphered in time to save Faranell in the last, desperate hours before the castle and its island fall to the greed of Clan MacDavidson's most malevolent and determined rival, Ian MacDonnelle? This is more than a mere race against time ... for the castle's secrets have guardians of their a devouring maelstrom and a merciless oubliette. Oh, and did I mention a fearsome dragon? Fact or fiction, friend or foe - we leave the children (and our readers!) to discover which or all. Adventure and excitement await - as delightful, charming, humorous, and challenging as the best of adventures and the grandest of Scottish legends should be. And all in the best of Buchans brogue ... with a touch of two of the Gaelic, to be sure!
