What if the true Stone of Destiny was still out there somewhere, hidden away by a Holy Order to protect it from English invaders?

What follows is a breathtaking journey through the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, from Edinburgh up to the furthest reaches of the northern isles. Plunged into a dizzying world of secret societies, occult mysteries and supernatural phenomena, the two friends leave no Neolithic stone unturned in their search to uncover the truth.
Eighteenth century Scotland has never been so magical… and terrifying.
