Huntress of the Sea

When Ewan's father returns home after being lost at sea seven years previously, his body is covered with scars, and there is a wild look in his eyes. His arrival in the glen is not the only mysterious and sinister change. Monstrous screams in the night, murderous beasts, and ghostly apparitions threaten the peaceful, lonely glen. Is the newcomer really Ewan's father? Will Ewan and his mother survive the forces of evil that threaten them?
