The Sacred Cone of Scotia by J. D. Tinsley
This is a fairytale set in present day Mid Wales, revolving around the adventures of the tri-blood. A human child who is more than she knows. On visiting her family in Wales, she discovers a subterranean world, until now unknown. Teaming up with some of the magical creatures, they begin their quest to bring peace to Suborbis. The story is linked to many local myths and legends and most of the places mentioned in the story are real. It is aimed at children aged 8+ but also appeals to young adults and grown-ups. This is the first in what will become a series of adventures involving all the main characters, plus lots of fungi! Wales is famous for its dragons, but they're just the tip of the mythical iceberg. Hidden from human view, there are mermaids, fairies, selkies, trolls and unicorns - all waiting to join forces to purge the estron fungus from our planet. Insidious, this evil being was brought to earth on a meteorite, and only the tri-blood's arrival in suborbis will bring about a series of events to end the reign of terror. Follow Eliza's adventures as she gathers all the friends and tools she needs to succeed in her endeavours.
