The Gannet Quartet
by Charlotte Clutterbuck
Twin Stars
Thousands of years ago in Stone-age Scotland, humans lived in sheltered valleys, afraid of the bears, wolves and ghosts that roamed the forests. In this ancient world, twin brother and sister, Bhòid and Sulaire, are born as thralls of the Beaver Clan of the Bear Tribe, but have dreams beyond the Custom of the Tribe. From her earliest years, Sulaire seems in touch with the world beyond, knowing intuitively how to use the healing power in her hands. If Bhòid is ever to become a Hunter, he must face challenges of courage, endurance, and leadership.
Set in Argyll and on the Island of Bute, the Gannet Quartet follows the story of the twins and the new clan they found––the Gannet Clan. Written about a remote time in the human past, the Quartet combines an imaginative reconstruction of lost legends and cosmology with realistic details of how people of fought and fed themselves, loved and mated, built their houses and healed their injuries.
