When Old Gods Live

Some tales tell that the Norse conquered Argyll with barely a whimper. Others tell of Hard fought battles, hardship and loss. The Sagas say that many were abandoned, left for dead and had to survive in the cold harsh landscape of Western Argyll for months till rescued. A new life together and a fresh start welcome Mae and Rob to their new home in Argyll. In the Heartland of historical Scotland they settle in to enjoy the happy home that they have always wanted. But there is something unusual about their new home and whilst Rob seeks answers to the puzzles surrounding them Mae looks to secure her sanity and make this the dream home that she has always wished for. Robs tantrums, educated Rats, deluded Nurses, stuffed birds and ancient gods that want to live again stand in her way but Mae will have her Idyllic home no matter who or what she has to kill to get it
