'Eighteen year old Lexi O'Connor is about to leave behind all she knows; her career-soldier father and the home she shares with her Aunt Claire, to travel to Scotland and discover her family's heritage. While exploring the historical city of Edinburgh, Lexi is attacked. Extremely shaken by the experience she flees; finding sanctuary in the small country town of Dunkeld, where she takes solitude in the local cathedral and meets the endearing Jack, who introduces Lexi to the local priest. Upon meeting Lexi, Father Michael believes that she is part of an old church prophecy and informs her of the part he believes she plays in it. Lexi is bewildered by what she has been told and is unsure of what to believe. Does she stay and fulfil her part in the prophecy or does she run away from her destiny?' (Publication summary)
