She thinks after she moves to the island, all her troubles, both magical and mundane, will be over. She’s wrong. Acceptance on the Shrouded Isle is hard earned. Becca Shaw has put down roots in Scotland with her two daughters, but even with her roles as community peacemaker, Keeper-in-training, and head teacher at the local school, she still feels like an outsider. Adapting to the modern world takes time. For ages, Greg Gillie has been isolated in the forest, keeping the fae at bay as lone Keeper. With Becca’s help, he slowly integrates more into society even as outside forces loom to disturb the island’s peace. Can the Keepers discover what’s causing mischief before it’s too late? The disgruntled villagers at the heart of the pranks want answers, and it’s up to Becca, Greg, and their found family to figure out what, or who, wants to disrupt their world. Bagpipes and Basil, the second book of the Shrouded Isle series, is filled with mysterious twists and turns with touches of sweet romance that leaves you guessing to the end.
