The Nightkeeper’s Apprentice

Sent to a remote Scottish island she’s never heard of, and to family she’s never met, twelve-year-old evacuee Eilidh feels lost and lonely. But she’s drawn to the strange lighthouse she’s forbidden to enter.

With the help of a ghostly new friend, Eilidh begins to unravel the island’s mysteries: long-kept family secrets and a dangerous, ancient magic that could change the world as she knows it…

Can Eilidh fulfil her Nightkeeper destiny before the past is unleashed?
