When Callum & his friends find Iona on Callum's farm they try to chase her back into the village But Iona runs from them up into the hills It is late & dark & snow lies in the mountain gullies Worried for Iona's safety Callum follows to find her shivering with cold but refusing to leave She is guarding a secret hidden in the forest above the dark waters of the loch So they make a deal Iona shares the secret & in return Callum allows her back onto the farm They form a deep bond of friendship & make a promise to keep their secret safe It is a promise that will change Callum's world forever She turned her head & fixed me with her brilliant yellow eyes She looked right into me & suddenly I knew then in that one moment I was as much part of her world as she was of mine Soar above the clouds in this enthralling tale of friendship loyalty & hope
