Dan MacLean is about to discover what happens when Death herself takes a personal interest in keeping you alive.
Across Scotland, mysterious deaths are piling up. In the cobbled wynds of Edinburgh, a woman with storm-dark eyes keeps appearing on Dan’s ghost tours. He thought he was just a struggling comedian faking the macabre for tourists — but when ancient fae courts stir from their slumber, and a predator begins the hunt for a key, his life unravels.
The worst part? That key might be Dan himself.
From the Highlands to the hidden corners of the city, Soon Enough is a Scottish Urban Fantasy that weaves folklore, dark humour, and modern myth into a story about what lingers between worlds — and the cost of being chosen by forces far older than humanity.
Early Praise
“Dark, funny, and rooted in the bones of Scotland.”
“Magnus Watt balances myth and humanity beautifully.“– ARC Reader Feedback
SETTINGS & MYTHOLOGY
Set between Edinburgh’s Old Town and the Highlands, the novel draws on centuries of Scottish folklore — from the Leannán Síth and Bodach Glas to the forgotten guardian spirits of the land.
If you enjoy Neil Gaiman, Ben Aaronovitch, or James Oswald, you’ll feel right at home in this story where the supernatural is never far from the everyday.
