The fourth book in the "Misadventures of Lady Molly Catherine" series, The Strange Child of Eilean Donan, explores some of the darker myths of Scotland.
Scottish legend has it that should a baby's first drink be from the skull of a raven, then that child would later develop strange powers. Such powers might include like talking to birds, or talking to the wind, or seeing through stone, or making trees dance. Regardless, the child would be of value to many kinds of people.
Including a king.
These are the continuing adventures of Lady Molly Catherine, Sir Captain Slippery Jack Maverick, Lady Kinley, Sir-to-the-Third Dean, Harshitha, Dartanyon, Lady Ella, Little Lord Austin, Lady Summer, Liam, Captain of the Guard, and Gavin, the Grey as the bound about the Scottish countryside to rescue a little girl and her parents from a Dutch villain. Nessie returns from Loch Ness and a magnificent sea battle takes places imperiling everyone. Still the old Scots bravery and persistence takes the fight to the bad guys in this "one-heck-of-a-book"!
