Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Runes of DunrossBook One of The Runekeeper Chroniclesby Thomas T. WedowWhen eleven-year-old Violet MacLeod inherits a crumbling Scottish manor perched high above the North Sea, she expects draughts, seagulls, and long summer days-not the whisper of her name carried on the wind.Dunross House stands upon ancient foundations marked with mysterious runes whose meanings were lost after the infamous North Berwick witch trials. As strange symbols begin appearing in Violet's sketches and unsettling dreams blur the line between history and legend, she realises that the stories surrounding Dunross were never merely folklore.Together with her fearless best friend Rosa, Violet uncovers a centuries-old mystery woven through Scotland's storm-lashed coastline. A ghostly boy watches from the shadows, an enigmatic witch guards dangerous secrets, and forgotten powers begin to stir beneath the cliffs. As the runes awaken, Violet finds herself drawn into an ancient conflict that reaches back to the days of King James VI-and threatens to unleash forces long thought buried.To save those she loves, Violet must uncover the truth hidden within Dunross House before the coming storm breaks.Blending Scottish folklore, real history and Norse mythology, The Runes of Dunross is a gripping middle-grade fantasy filled with mystery, adventure and unforgettable characters. It is the first novel in The Runekeeper Chronicles, an epic series where ancient legends refuse to stay buried.Perfect for readers of A Pinch of Magic, The House with Chicken Legs and Percy Jackson, this is a story of courage, friendship and discovering that the greatest legends are often rooted in truth.
