An unusual mix of compelling contemporary narrative juxtaposed and intertwined with a lyrical Arthurian tale.

Emlyn and Maxine are both newcomers, both misfits in their own way. But their lives are linked and their paths destined to cross in ways that neither can begin to imagine. Drawn to the ancient site known as Sleeper's Spinney, Emlyn and Maxine unleash an unearthly power when they unwittingly remove one of a group of wooden horsemen hidden beneath the earth. Containing the trapped spirits of Arthur and his men, the carvings have been held in check since the Dark Ages by a long line of Keepers, the McCrossans. With the Keepers prepared to stop at nothing to recover what has been stolen, Emlyn and Maxine are drawn into a parallel world of myth, magic and the supernatural. Arthur is awake - and he is no revered, grey-bearded King come back to save The Isles. Its thrilling climax sees a race against time as Emlyn and Maxine try to destroy the figures before Arthur and his guard are let loose and released into the world of the 21st century Scotland.

Reviews for Stone Crown

The Stone Crown is one of the best historical novels that I have read in a long time. I became so engrossed in the characters' lives that the pages just seemed to fly by. Five hundred pages in, and I didn't want the end to come. This is a book filled with the magic of the Dark Ages and, as a reader, I certainly felt completely entranced by it... I recommend it highly; it was a fantastic read. * Historical Novel Society, UK * The Stone Crown is a fantasy which will intrigue teen and adult readers. * Aussie Reviews *
