In the year 2014 Annie Ross has gone through her life a bit lost. She's about to find herself misplaced in time as well--all the way back to 878 A.D.--where she will take her place as a guardian of the Stone of Destiny, and find a way to restore the faith of a powerful Highland chieftain. Will she win Callum's heart as well? Tanya Anne Crosby returns to the origin of the legend of the Guardians of the Stone-to a time when magic was a force and the Picts were on the brink of vanishing from the Highland tapestry.
