Legend has it that the Last King of Cumberland, King Dunmail, fought and lost a mighty battle with King Malcolm, King of the Scottish clans on Grisedale Fell in Cumberland. His faithful warriors buried his body under a cairn and threw his golden crown into Grisedale Tarn, every year the ghosts of King Dunmail's warriors return to look for the crown, intent on returning it to King Dunmail, but if you listen quietly a voice on the wind whispers; 'not yet my brave Knights, not yet'.
Perhaps the time has come for King Dunmail's restless soul to find peace because Max Forshaw is beyond excited about going on a field trip with his geography class to Grisedale Fell. Having learned about the legend of the Last King of Cumberland from his beloved grandad, he wants to explore and is adamant he will find the golden crown, but perhaps it is not that easy!

Are the two linked? Continue the extraordinary adventures of brother's Sam and Max Forshaw as they discover their unique gift to connect with unsettled spirits - the souls of the departed yearning for peace.
