About This Book
Fiona lives with a bookish Student by a mist-bound sea-loch and joins a quest for a legendary hoard. An itinerant hawker, a streetwise Urchin and islanders help her explore sea caves where a single doubloon and heavy marks hint at recent plunder. They reach a luminous inner chamber by boat, find the treasure gone, and confront signs of otherworldly presence. Meeting an oread and a strange woodcock king, Fiona is drawn into a fairy realm where adventure, courage, and an unexpected form of prize transform her understanding of what truly matters.
