Synopsis

It was Hallowmas and the beginning of winter. For Seonaid, the daughter of a Border Chieftain, it was also her seventeenth birthday.

Outwitting her companion, she had come alone to the great stone that marked the Warrior’s Rest. Here she found a small green amulet and here, too, she first met Tamlane.

Tamlane, a name that filled Seonaid with delight and, at the same time, fear, for did this tall, brown young man, who had left her as quickly as he had come, really exist? Hallowmas was a time of spirits. From this first meeting Seonaid returned home to a household busy with preparations for Hallowmas. An evening that was to end in unexpected tragedy and to start hostility between two families who had long been friends. Could this be due to the amulet — or to Tamlane?

Anne Randle’s second book for children is a gripping fantasy with its roots firmly in history and in Celtic legend, which ends in a dramatic climax as Seonaid fights with the powers of evil for the sake of the man she loves.
