The Druid Stone

About the Book

The Druid Stone Offers Two Celtic Mysteries:

The Spirit Stone:

When Kelly Monaghan visits her cousins in Ireland, Kelly becomes the target of a centuries old curse. During the exploration of an ancient Druid’s circle, they uncover a strange-looking stone. In moving it, they unwittingly unleash the powerful forces of an evil Druid priest who transcends time to attempt to recapture the stone.

Kelly and her cousins enlist the aid of the village Elder to fight the awesome powers of the Druid. At stake is the very soul and spirit of an Irish beauty, Maeve. Kelly learns that Maeve is her own ancestor and that she, alone, possesses the power to free Maeve from the malevolent Druid’s cruel spell.

The Isle of Mist:

A young American girl is thrust into the ancient world of feuding Scottish clans. Set on the hauntingly beautiful Isle of Skye, Maggie and her mother begin the process of healing after the death of Maggie’s father, Ian MacDonald.

They inherit a bookstore where Maggie discovers a journal hidden under the old stones of the floor. The journal tells the tragic story of Bonnie MacLean and Robert MacDonald, star-crossed lovers who caused a terrible curse to be placed on the MacDonald clan. Maggie must face the ‘Sidhe’, powerful ancient spirits, to petition for the removal of the curse that has haunted her family for centuries. Through her courage and determination, Maggie brings about an incredible chain of events that effect not only the past, but the present and future as well.
