When two strangers help ten-year-old Morag escape a life of drudgery she has no idea that joining them on their mission will take her into a world more dangerous than the one she is leaving behind.
An ancient stone used to protect their mysterious northern homeland from human invaders has been stolen by a renegade intent on harnessing its powers. With Morag?s help they have a chance to rescue it, by freeing the only guide who knows the way ? a dragon turned to stone thirty years before ? to an island beyond the horizon, unknown to mortal men.
Morag?s journey is perilous and dark forces are already afoot to stop her. Along the way are clues not only to the stone?s whereabouts but also to the disappearance of her parents, urging Morag onwards to fulfil a destiny that seems inextricably linked to her own?
