A prophecy. A stolen throne. A boy who never wanted to be a hero.
Kenneth Phynndragon is an ordinary English university student—until the morning his father and a mysterious stranger order him to destroy Scotland’s most sacred relic: the Stone of Destiny. The legendary coronation stone is said to hold the power to crown true kings and restore Scotland’s freedom. Ancient verses foretell a boy who has lost his only friend, a traitor’s son, a mighty sword, and a perilous journey to the mysterious island of Cinerea.
Torn between loyalty to his family and the pull of destiny, Kenneth is swept into a daring theft from Edinburgh Castle itself. With Scottish rebels at his side, he must evade the English army, claim the sword of William Wallace, and decide which side of a brewing civil war he truly belongs to.
But the prophecy demands a heavy cost. Nightmares of his cousin’s death haunt him. Allies are dying. And the line between myth and reality is vanishing fast.
Filled with heart-pounding chases, swordplay, cliffside escapes, and deep Scottish lore, The Stone of Destiny is a gripping YA historical fantasy of courage, friendship, and the weight of legacy.
Will Kenneth fulfill the prophecy… or betray everything he once believed?
