Stephan’s interests extend beyond science fiction themes. They also cover legends, folklore, mythology, esotericism, and magic. The following books combine these fields in a series of contemporary paranormal intrigues waiting to be resolved by six young adults who, originally, all opposed. And what better grounds than Stephan’s adoptive country to stage their adventures.
Agnes Sampson is a respected and praised healer in Sixteenth Century Scotland. Caught in a powerful feud, the Wise Wife of Keith ends as the most wanted witch, accused of plotting against the life of James VI of Scotland, behested by the Devil. Having committed a crime against God and his anointed, she is tried and burnt at the sake, her spirit cursed to wander Holyroodhouse Palace for all eternity.
Four hundred and thirty years later, a mysterious necromancer empowers her ghost, and provides the means to exact her righteous revenge. Quickly, the duo wreaked havoc in the city of Edinburgh, with one final objective: the demise of the newly crowned Charles III. He will face retribution for the vile subterfuges of his forefather.
Until a group of five international students led by François, a timid scholar, and assisted by a local Wiccan, accidentally crosses the pair’s path, mingling with their impeccable plan. Then follows a struggle involving Agnes’ descendants amidst magic, love, and betrayal, tearing her apart for a second time, and jeopardising her chances of seeking redemption for her soul.
