In July 1745 Ewen Cameron of Ardroy, a young Highland laird, hears a seer’s prophecy that an enemy will cross his path again and again. That enemy is Keith Windham, a cool English officer sent into the Highlands as Prince Charles Edward raises his standard, and through the campaign and its aftermath the two men are drawn into a rivalry that becomes something else.

The first of Broster’s Jacobite trilogy, admired for its Highland landscapes and its unusual friendship across enemy lines. Download the free EPUB.
