When a sighting of the presumed-extinct caladrius bird sends dozens of ornithologists to Scotland, Beth Pickering and her mentor Mrs Quirm join.

But they're up against their despicable rivals, Herr Oberhufter and Marco Llewelyn.

Beth is motivated by one thing . . . Winning the Birder of The Year Trophy and the riches that await this prestigious award.

But a nefarious villain also wants the bird, intending to create a devastating weapon from its magic.

That Villian being Herr Oberhufter . . .

Beth and Marco find themselves forced together in an effort to stop this happening.

But will stopping an evil mastermind be easier than catching feelings for each other?
