Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A strange stone. An ancient secret. And someone watching their every move.When twelve-year-old Elsie Mercer and her best friend Amara discover a carved sandstone fragment near Minerva's Shrine in Chester, they think they have stumbled across an unusual piece of Roman history.But the stone is no ordinary find.Its strange markings lead Elsie, Amara, Toby and his younger brother Benji on a trail through Chester's Roman ruins, hidden cellars, ancient walls and forgotten passages. Each clue reveals another piece of a mystery deliberately buried for nearly two thousand years.Someone else is searching too.Antiquities collector Marcus Flint will do almost anything to reach the secret first, while the mysterious Gareth Rook seems to know far more than he is willing to explain. Even the adults the children trust may be keeping dangerous secrets of their own.As the four friends follow the trail left behind by a Roman girl named Cassia, they uncover forgotten names, a hidden archive and an extraordinary bronze owl that should not exist.Because the secret beneath Chester is far older than the Romans.And the owl is only the first of seven ancient Witnesses.Perfect for readers who love historical mysteries, puzzles, archaeology, secret societies and adventures where the past is never quite as buried as it seems.The Secret of Minerva's Shrine is Book One of The Stone & Shadow Mysteries.
