About The Book
The Last Heir of Skye
“The past has eyes. And the blood remembers.”
Eleanor Blackwood has always felt like she didn’t belong.
The Last Heir of Skye is the first novel by author Lianne Ward. It is a story filled with magic, mystery, and deep emotions. The book is set on the windy and wild Isle of Skye in Scotland. It takes readers into a world where old memories remain and family secrets return, even after many years.
The main character, Eleanor Blackwood, feels like she doesn’t belong anywhere. She is still very sad about losing her father and her family falling apart. She feels lonely and unsure of who she is. But when she returns to an old house by the sea—a house she now owns but hardly remembers—everything changes.
Eleanor begins to feel that her life is part of something much bigger. She discovers that her story didn’t really begin with her—it began long ago. Hidden secrets lie beneath the old house and deep in her family’s past. Now, those secrets are calling to her.
The old house Eleanor inherits is not just a regular home. It feels alive, filled with memories, quiet shadows, and a strange feeling that pulls her in. It’s like the walls are softly calling her name. The sea wind carries whispers, and her dreams start to mix with real life. As she walks through the dusty, forgotten rooms, she begins to find clues from the past that were hidden for hundreds of years.
Sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried it waits, hidden in blood and stone, until you’re brave enough to claim it

About The Author
Lianne Ward is a new and growing writer of fantasy and gothic stories. She is known for writing books that mix strong feelings, old family secrets, and the beautiful, wild land of Scotland. Lianne lives near the windy shores of Scotland and writes stories that feel magical but also real and personal. Her books are inspired by old stories, Scottish traditions, and the emotional journeys we all go through in life.
Lianne was not intent on becoming a writer. It occurred due to sadness, deep thought processes, and above all, a good wake-up call that life is short and you do not need to wait to fulfil your dreams. Throughout several years, she did various hobbies trying to discover something that she could feel at home. Nothing actually suits.
Then, something big changed. Her mother-in-law, Jean, passed away suddenly.
Jean wasn’t just family—she was full of life, always laughing, kind to everyone, and someone who reminded others to enjoy each moment. Losing her was very hard for Lianne. But in the quiet days that followed, Lianne heard a voice in her heart say, “Just write the book.” So she did.
Writing became her healing. It became her voice. Most importantly, it became the home she had searched for in so many other things. Jean’s energy is still with her in every word, every page, and every sentence. She was the spark—and remains the fire.
