The Eye of Callanish

The Eye of Callanish is a historical fantasy adventure set in the Outer Hebrides of 12th-century Scotland. It follows Mairi, a young girl accused of being in league with the Devil because she can communicate with ancient people. With the help of Neil and Brother Durston, characters introduced in the previous book, Mairi embarks on a perilous journey to escape her persecutors. The story explores themes of fear, bravery, the search for truth, and the clash between ancient beliefs and societal suspicion. Parents should be aware of themes of persecution and danger, which are handled within the context of an adventurous escape narrative.

At the beginning of the twelfth century on the Island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland, a young girl, Mairi, is persecuted for being in league with the Devil. She believes that she is able to communicate with the ancient people who built the temple of Tall Stones at Callanish. Mairi is aided in her escape from her persecutors by Neil and the hermit Brother Durston, who we first met in Weapons of the Wolfhound. On the way they face many dangers and frightening situations. But just who are these ancient people that Mairi is communicating with? Neil is fascinated by the search for Truth ... and at the same time terrified of it... The Eye of Callanish is the sequel to Moyra Caldecott's Weapons of the Wolfhound.
