The Stones of Landane

'Fear her now, fear the queen, As in her stone she reigns supreme...' When Jonathan agrees to accompany his girlfriend, Nadia, on a trip to Landane, he imagines a short relaxing break in the countryside. But he quickly discovers that Nadia isn't just drawn to the ancient Neolithic stone circle, she is obsessed by the megaliths. One in particular holds a fascination for her. Within hours, her personality begins to change, and it isn't long before Jonathan starts to fear for her sanity. Reaching far back into the past and up to the present day, those same stones have demonstrated powers beyond reason and, as Jonathan's girlfriend becomes increasingly distant from reality, some of the ghosts of the past begin to reappear. Now it isn't only Nadia who is in danger.
