Whilst summering with her parents in the Scottish countryside, Primrose sets out on an adventure to visit a picturesque castle ruin on the rugged Scottish coast. But, when a thunderstorm suddenly hits, she must take refuge amid the crumbling castle walls. As the wind howls through the ancient rooms, Primrose begins to suspect that she may not be alone.

Professor Ballantyne and the Grumpy Cairn Witch
~1885~ For three years Professor Ballantyne has been exchanging the most fascinating correspondence with a lady he has never met. When the letters suddenly stop arriving, August decides that he must travel from Edinburgh to the Scottish Highlands to make sure that all is well.
When he arrives at the doorstep of the charming little cottage of Tigh Na Càrn entirely unannounced, Moraig MacKinnon is furious. But, her stormy mood is not the worst thing that they're about to encounter. Strange and uncanny things have been happening for weeks. And, with the eve of Samhain swiftly approaching, when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, things are about to get a whole lot worse.
There will be Cottagecore. There will be foraging for mushrooms. There will be grumpy sunshine flirting. There will even be an ancient, Neolithic burial cairn. But, what August doesn't yet know, is that there will also be chilling and unnatural things creeping behind him in the shadows.
