Product Description
by Susan McDuffie (Author)
Autumn 1373: The grandson of the powerful Lord of the Isles vanishes on the windswept island of Colonsay, and rumors fly that he has been spirited away by the faerie. Muirteach MacPhee investigates, suspecting the boy's disappearance has more to do with the mysterious piece of gold the lad found before he vanished. Mariota Beaton arrives from Islay to aid Muirteach, but she struggles with demons of her own.
The island of Colonsay is rife with tales of faerie changelings and the buried bones of an infant found in a nearby cave. Muirteach's investigation brings past grievances and old wounds to light, but can he save the life of the missing boy, or his burgeoning relationship with Mariota?
This paperback edition includes a bonus novelette. In "The Watergate" Muirteach MacPhee accompanies the Lord of the Isles to meet with King Robert II at Urquhart Castle where the death of a beautiful woman draws Muirteach into an even deeper mystery.
