The Lambing
When a grieving American teen travels to rural Scotland to scatter her father's ashes, she finds something deeply wrong with the villagers and their sheep, and setting them right will demand the one thing she can't bear to lose.

In 1328 Scotland, a woman sacrifices her dying mother and dons her skin to summon an ancient spirit, the Caora, to protect her village. Centuries later, seventeen-year-old Ella travels from California to Moffat with her mother to spend the summer with her ailing grandmother, Isa. Still grieving her father's death, Ella struggles to connect until she bonds with Isa, a local farmhand named Duncan, and Freya, a teen eager to escape town. When Ella witnesses a farmhand attacked near the old cave, she is drawn into Moffat’s buried mythology. As villagers begin to change, she uncovers the truth: the Caora, once summoned to defend the Scottish, now preys on human souls. Duncan, who reawakened it, has lost control. As the town falls, Ella faces an impossible choice. Disguised in her grandmother’s skin, she follows the villagers into the Beeftub hills, toward the cave where an ancient force waits, and a fate she may not escape.
