A Scottish Fantasy Adventure

Step into an 18th century Edinburgh bursting with magic, monsters, and thieves.

"Swirls of Magic is rich in atmosphere, dazzling in imagination and very hard to put down."

Isla Campbell knows stealing is wrong, she just happens to be really good at it. And with her family struggling under a huge debt, she’ll do whatever it takes to free them.

When an opportunity appears that could solve all her family’s troubles, Isla jumps at it. Sure, it might be working for Edinburgh’s most black-hearted gangster. And it might involve meddling with the rich and powerful Royal College of Magic. But what’s the worst that could happen?

With her partner in crime, Valeria, Isla infiltrates the secretive college to steal from the city’s mages. But as her burgeoning trade in black market magic causes chaos, Isla discovers the harrowing truth of Edinburgh’s magic and the mages who wield it.

As the city’s dark magic comes roaring to the surface, being hanged as a thief is the least of Isla’s worries. Magical beings prey on the Old Town, there’s blood in the streets, and the city is coming apart at the seams.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Scottish fantasy

  • Dark magic

  • Tales of survival

  • Brave but flawed heroines


With a bold and memorable heroine, Swirls of Magic is the gripping start to an urban fantasy trilogy set in an Edinburgh with a shockingly dark heart.
