Bruce McLennan stared down into the newly-excavated depths. At the moment there was just a hole in the ground. But he could already see -a dungeon
Bruce McLennan is driven on a wild journey across the world, away from his tragic memories and his need for revenge, away from his castle and the dark and terrifying dungeon he has ordered to be built below it.
In China, ruled by the ferocious Mongols, McLennan becomes a jobbing soldier, and buys a young girl, Peony, to be his slave. After many adventures, drawn back to Scotland by the emotions still lying buried within his heart, McLennan returns to his castle where Peony is befriended by Fin, a young stable lad.

Lynne Reid Banks has written a powerful medieval tragedy, in which she explores the themes of hate, retribution and love. Not for the faint-hearted, The Dungeon is a book which, though covering dark subjects, never fails to draw one in through its compelling narrative drive and vivid descriptions.
