Writer and journalist, Craig Watson, brings the legend of the bogeyman to life in this, his debut novel.
The book is based on genuine historical figures and events, as well as legend and folklore. A shadowy medieval mystery it’s set in the period after William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and a historical reminder of Scotland’s enduring constitutional struggle with itself and with England.
The author weaves together the disparate lives of three main characters, Royal Prince Alexander Stewart, son of King Robert II who, plagued by rumours of his illegitimacy, becomes infamous as the Wolf of Badenoch; young Andrew Christie who commits an unforgivable sin and lay brother and scribe, Brodie Affleck from Restenneth Priory who pieces together the mystery what links them all together.
From the horror of the times to the changing fortunes of the characters, a gripping, historical thriller is born.
