Description
A stormy night in 1286 sets the stage for a tragic event that will have far-reaching consequences. King Alexander III of Scotland is riding to meet his French bride, but their journey ends in disaster when his horse slips, sending them both to a fatal crash on the rocks. The Scottish throne is left vacant, and the powerful nobles and European princes who had hoped to claim it begin to vie for control. As the situation spirals out of control, a trusted clerk named Hugh Corbett is sent to report on the chaos at the Scottish court. His mission soon becomes one of uncovering the truth behind the king's death and navigating a complex web of intrigue and danger. As Corbett delves deeper into the mystery, he finds himself drawn into a world of conspiracy and deception. With the fate of Scotland hanging in the balance, Corbett must use all his wits to unravel the threads of a deadly plot that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
