Twelve-year-old Katie Skea was stolen by faeries as a baby and won back by her mother’s courage. Years later on the Isle of Skye, strange magic is stirring. When her new sister is mysteriously injured, Katie fears the faery world is calling her back—and the only way to save her family is to face the world she barely remembers.

Across Skye, Katie uncovers a fading faery kingdom, a boy trapped by nightly enchantments, and the truth about her own faery heritage. To save the people she loves, Katie must use every trick she knows, including the ones she learned from the faeries themselves. Now she must decide if she will be their saviour… or their undoing.

The Stolen Bairn by Katrina Roe Macdonald is a tale of courage, magic and the complexities of belonging to two worlds. Let Katie's journey captivate you as she unravels the mysteries of her past and navigates the challenges of an enchanting yet dangerous faery realm.
