Roland Graeme, a foundling raised in the household of Avenel, is a proud, quick-tempered boy who clings to the old faith. Sent as page to the deposed Mary Queen of Scots in her island prison of Lochleven Castle in 1567, he is torn between loyalty to his captors, the plots of Catholic friends, and growing devotion to the captive queen and her lady Catherine Seyton.
