The Stone of Destiny is Caroline Logan's debut novel. It is a brilliant fantasy adventure for young adults; steeped in Scottish myth and folklore. The protagonist Ailsa is a young woman who is shunned by her community and labelled a changeling. The people from whom her mother had protected her, forced her to flee. With her mother now dead Ailsa is alone. That is until she finds a pair of selkies in need of help and soon she finds herself tangled up in an adventure and a mystery. Because the selkies are being hunted by none other than Nicnevan; the Dark Fairy Queen herself. The world building and the storytelling in this book are top notch, making for an all encompassing and page turning read. I thoroughly enjoyed Caroline Logan's first book and cannot wait to read the next in The Four Treasures Series. The Stone of Destiny is out now from Cranachan books, thanks so much to Kelly MacDonald for my copy.
