About This Book

This volume continues a historical romance set during the late-17th-century upheavals in Scotland, tracking the entwined fates of Walter Fenton, Lilian, and Clermistonlee as private rivalries and romantic danger unfold against political turmoil. Episodes range from abduction and daring rescues to sieges, city riots, and pitched battles, with scenes at Edinburgh, Holyrood, Killycrankie, and Steinkirke, and detours to exile and courtly intrigue at St. Germains. Themes include loyalty, honor, love tested by power, and the collision of personal motives with national conflict, while the narrative balances action, secret plots, and revelations that culminate in duels, disclosures, and marriages.
