Welcome to Scotland, where magic runs through the land like the stripes in the colorful Scottish tartans.
Everyone and everything here, it seems, has some wizardry--old folks at rest homes, dusty old card games, even cowardly dogs. The only ones without magic are American twins Jennifer and Peter, and they're the ones who need it most.
When four-year-old Molly scribbles on an old parchment in the attic, seven crop circles flatten a neighboring wheat field overnight. The strange parchment is a wizard's map, alive with ancient power.
Finding trouble in Fairburn takes no time at all, apparently--a scribbled map, a swirl of wind, and a ruthless medieval sorcerer snatching their little sister into thin air.
Rescuing her demands far more than ordinary summer patience, especially with three argumentative iron beasts as their only guides. Now the twins must brave dark caverns and outwit ancient spells before the wizard claims the map for good.
- Sibling Dynamics: Thirteen-year-old twins Jennifer and Peter must set aside their bickering and lean on their unspoken twin connection to track down their stolen four-year-old sister.
- Scottish Folklore: From the cobblestones of Burial Brae to the monstrous Redcap lurking in the shadows with his iron boots and eagle talons, classic Highland myths spring to life.
- Quest Adventure: The children must decipher the secrets of a 1933 card booklet, unlock a mysterious garden summer house, and navigate torch-lit underground caverns.
- Unlikely Hero: Practical, quiet Jennifer discovers that standing up to a diabolical sorcerer takes more courage than facing down any schoolyard bully.
- Also by This Author: Dragon's Blood, Dragon's Heart and Sword of the Rightful King.
