For centuries, whispers of a creature stirring in the black waters of Loch Ness have drifted across the Highlands. But the truth runs far deeper than legend. Twenty-two year-old Aila Brynn never asked to inherit an ancient covenant. Still reeling from grief, she is drawn into a hidden world where faith, family, and myth entwine. Beneath the loch, guardians known as the Selach keep watch—bound by vow and bloodline to the one they protect: the mysterious being the world calls Nessie. As Aila uncovers her place in this sacred lineage, she faces choices that will test every part of her—her courage, her loyalty, and her trust in a God who feels both achingly near and terrifyingly silent. When shadows rise to claim the depths, she must decide whether to turn away… or step into the legacy written for her since the beginning of time. Rich with Scottish atmosphere, spiritual depth, and echoes of ancient prophecy, The Legacy of Nessie is the first book in the Guardians of the Deep series—a sweeping Christian fantasy saga that blends faith and folklore, mystery and myth, in an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and the call to destiny. Perfect for fans of Outlander , The Chronicles of Narnia , and Celtic fantasy epics.
