Why these tropes fit
After her father's death, Keyanna MacKay travels to Scotland searching for answers about the hidden world he never spoke of, armed only with a childhood monster story and the name of her estranged grandmother. She is rescued from a slippery shore by Lachlan Greer, an angry Scotsman who thinks she's an idiot—and whose own family has taught him not to trust her surname. Forced onto shared grounds, both harboring secrets, Key faces a cold reception from her family, begins developing strange powers, and pairs with Lachlan to unravel a centuries-old curse before time runs out.
