Description
A vivid and passionate novel of Scotland's most dramatic period, set against the backdrop of civil war and conflicting ideologies. In 1574, young Will Fowler finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy that will determine who takes Scotland's crown. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of feuding families, ruthless ambition, and philosophical debates, Will befriends Tom Nicolson, a brilliant but unorthodox thinker whose sister Rose embodies a free-thinking mind that can bring danger to those around her. Against this complex web of relationships and loyalties, Fowler must confront his own desires and allegiances. This gripping tale of love, friendship, and self-interest is told by a character whose rise mirrors the conflicts he narrates, offering a unique perspective on Scotland's tumultuous past.
