About the book
Terrific story set in Scotland in the 18th century. A girl brought up at James I's court in London goes north to Scotland in obedience to her beloved mother's dying wish. She stumbles into a family mystery and a love affair with a dashing clan chief. Her mother was a Campbell, the man to whom she was handfasted the member of an enemy clan. It's all tremendously romantic and not uninformative in the bargain.
