Synopsis: Angus MacBain is unaware that his ancestral roots hail from an ancient sect of Scottish kings. When his dying grandfather gives him a dragon pendant, thirteen-year-old Angus learns of a legacy that will take him across an ocean to the island of Iona and thrust him into a heritage he did not know he had.
He soon discovers that
his mother, whom he had believed dead, is really a seal fairy, in hiding from a
dangerous enemy. To save her, Angus must undergo a perilous journey
of destiny and power to battle an evil Dacian knight and those who serve him.
With only his family shield and the advice of a wizened vampire hunter to
protect him, Angus must navigate dangerous terrain and dark enemies,
in a land where the past and the present mingle, and sleeping kings wake.
SNEAK PEEK
Below them, the waters boiled. White froth grew and
twisted and splashed. A monstrous beast rose from the depths. A colossal
creature so terrifying that Angus opened his mouth to scream, but not even a
squeak came out. He gaped in stunned silence at the cephalopod-like beast with
huge protruding eyes. A spiked tentacle, nearly eight feet long with rotating
hooks, whipped to the surface. As the water sluiced off the thing, the hooks
began gyrating and quivering. While Angus watched, one of them snaked out and
wrapped around Vanora’s leg, dragging her on her belly, toward the water at top
speed. She clawed and scraped, but she could get no hold. The thing kept
dragging, pulling her closer to its gaping mouth, beating her over the rocky
outcroppings.
“Vanora!” Angus scrambled over the rocks and leapt
for her. He got hold of her hand. His fingers closed around hers. He pulled,
but little by little her fingers slipped out of his grip.
The monster dragged her closer and closer to the
ledge. She reached out and seized a pointy rock, holding on until her knuckles
turned pale.
“Help me,” she screamed.
