Iona Rivers is glad she has a simple life, with her job in Amsterdam, underground flat and no responsibilities. Working to recover from the accident and to piece her life back together, everything still feels strange and unfamiliar. However, she’s assured that, in time, her memories will recover and she’ll feel at home again.

Working to recover from the accident and to piece her life back together, everything still feels strange and unfamiliar. However, she’s assured that, in time, her memories will recover and she’ll feel at home again. But, for now, even her favourite coffee tastes alien and bitter. Andy accepts The Enforcer’s terms, to avoid a bloodbath and save their daughter’s young life - Iona will be removed and her mind wiped of everything she knows and loves. Gone is her mother, her daughter, her guide, replaced by the weak and soulless life they’ve constructed for her. Henry refuses to accept this bargain, defying all allegiances, to seek her out. He alone believes that her life is not fair sacrifice for kelpie peace and harmony. Overjoyed when he finds her, he soon realises she’s beyond reach. The programming is too deep. Scotland is Iona’s only hope, to feel the land beneath her feet and see her daughter with her own eyes. But to get there, they will need to escape from everyone: The Patronii, The Hanegraaf and even the kelpies. Henry’s mastery of technology and stealth won’t be enough – they need a mind even more powerful than Mr Rudder’s. It’s time for Iona to step into the fullness of her gift. Even so, the pain isn’t over. The kelpies demand a final and terrible sacrifice; a single misguided action, with the power to destroy them all. less
