The ancient gift she carries lets Ailsa glimpse his future. A few weeks from now, a struggling Scottish scientist will hold a potential unicorn skull in his hands. If he proves it’s authentic, his career will be made. If he dies trying, he won’t be the first.
Gillan McArdle’s academic career is ending because of one stupid lapse of judgement. But he’s the most talented young archaeologist in Scotland, and a Dundee-based media outfit can use his skills. Offered a short-term contract, he lands on the Hebridean island of Harris to investigate obscure animal bones. Quickly dismissing the unicorn skull as a thinly disguised fake, he can’t deny there’s something unusual about these bones. Baited by rumours of a majestic tusked horse roaming the uplands, Gill begins to suspect someone is manipulating him. As he gradually unravels the mystery of the skull, he grasps one disturbing conclusion. If this creature does exist, the evidence suggests it’s a killer.
"Captivating!" - Amazon reviewer. "Tormod has written a story that will hold you until you finish. Then you will want to read another of his books. Utterly beautiful descriptions of Scotland, believable characters, a touch of Mythology and the Supernatural. Brilliant stuff."
"This book is a trap" - Amazon reviewer. "It started off slowly for me but by the end, I was sneaking time so that I could rapidly thumb the pages to the end. I can’t wait to see what else is in store."
"Engaging intrigue" - Amazon reviewer. "Really enjoyed this book! I thought the premise was great, but the book exceeded expectations! It covered my love of mystery, for Scotland, and nature, people and what makes them tick, Gill's adventures and growth ...I highly recommend the whole series."
Genre: Thriller
