The Gold Prince

Scotland, 1943. Calum Markaine survives by performance, slipping between accents and carefully crafted versions of himself. In his final year of studies at Dunroven Academy, and with the Second World War pressing closer, his father sets him on a task that may ultimately change the course of the conflict.

But as his path keeps colliding with that of Eileen Binchy, his sharp-eyed classmate who misses little, the stories Calum tells himself begin to fail him. In finally uncovering the truth of his father's plan, he discovers he is bound to an ancient power and a burden that could pervert not only his future, but also the fate of everyone he loves.

Return to Dunroven Academy ten years before the events of The Gold Keepers for the story of how the trilogy's deepest mysteries first take root.
