A time-travelling boy finds adventure, danger and young love in Stone Age Scotland in this “weird but wonderful fantasy” YA book (Guardian, UK).
The people of Skara Brae, a prehistoric village in the Orkney Islands, face a dying sun and failing crops. When a strange boy appears from nowhere, dressed in an odd silver suit, some wonder if his presence is a bad omen. Young Cait is drawn to the boy from the moment she magically heals his injuries. But for the old woman Voy, he represents the only hope for the sun’s regeneration—if they can burn his silver skin in a huge sacrificial blaze.
Rab was only meant to travel back to the 19th century as part of a homework assignment. Instead, he lands in the Neolithic era, confused and injured—until he meets Cait. With her, Rab begins to enjoy his time in Skara Brae. But when a pyre is built for him, he must fight for his life. Can he escape back to his own time, even if it means leaving Cait and Skara Brae behind?
