ABOUT THIS BOOK Begin the journey; discover your destiny... Set against a backdrop of Scottish myths and legends, follow the epic quest by a changeling, a selkie and a prince to find an ancient and powerful object, and save the kingdom. Ailsa doesn’t believe in faerie tales, only the monsters in them. But, with the mark on her face, most people consider her one of them—a changeling. Her secluded life shifts when she rescues two selkies from bloodthirsty raiders. Now she must act as their guard as they travel to the capital and then, with the help of the Prince of Eilanmor, journey north to find the Stone of Destiny - the only object protecting them all from the evil faerie queen. But all her life a malignant creature has stalked her through the forest. Can Ailsa find the Stone of Destiny before something wicked finds her? MY REVIEW Fresh, captivating, and brimming with adventure, THE STONE OF DESTINY by Caroline Logan is the perfect start to this new fantasy series, which will appeal to young adults and adults alike. Ailsa knows what it's like to be alone. Shunned as a changeling by her village ever since her mother died, Ailsa has had to fend for herself and grow up quickly. Now on a secluded bay, she forages for whatever she can and is able to defend herself if the need arises. She finds peace in the solitude and has learned to become content with her own company. But when a woman's cry pierces the silence, Ailsa comes to her aid which will set her on a path of adventure, danger, and so much more. With magic, selfies, demons, and more, Ailsa must learn her own strength and protect those that she has come to care for before darkness takes over the land forever. Exciting from the very beginning, THE STONE OF DESTINY by Caroline Logan is the kind of story that keeps you hooked from beginning to end, and leaves you wanting more. Ailsa is a character that you will want to protect and see succeed at every turn because there is something so vulnerable about her even though she is as tough as any warrior. I became invested in Ailsa and longed for more for her than what she had come to accept. The setting is very detailed and I fully enjoyed this new land of myth and legends as it came to life in front of my eyes. There are secrets and subterfuge, friendship and lies, and so much more in THE STONE OF DESTINY by Caroline Logan which makes it the perfect addition to any fantasy and YA fans bookshelf. I look forward to reading book two! AUTHOR BIO Caroline Logan is a writer of Young Adult Fantasy. Her debut novel, The Stone of Destiny, is the first in The Four Treasures series.
