The Last of Their Race

In the mist‑clad Highlands, the ancient Castle of Achree looms like a stone‑worn sentinel over a sweeping moor. Isla Mackinnon, a twenty‑six‑year‑old with sharp grey‑blue eyes and a quiet, steadfast courage, steps out from the castle’s narrow doorway, her hands already bearing the weight of a legacy she has never asked for. Dressed in a practical tweed skirt and a self‑knit coat, she carries a shepherd’s crook and commands a lively trio of dogs, hinting at a life lived close to the land and its traditions.

Yet the beauty of the baronial walls masks a growing peril. The estate, once a thriving seat of the Mackinnon line, now faces an unseen threat that could erase its very existence, and only Isla seems poised to confront it. With whispered legends of a headless warrior haunting the dungeon and the ancient stones echoing past tragedies, her journey promises a blend of duty, mystery, and the fierce love of a home on the brink.
