Meanwhile Solveig McCleery is trying to open up the coal mines at Brora, and it's not long before another body turns up. And from faraway Archangel in Russia, a Master Mast-Maker suddenly decides to leave his work, his family, and take a ship over to Scotland, to Sutherland, and to Kildonan...Discovering how all three strands are connected will lead you through this richly researched and engagingly atmospheric novel from beginning to end.
