Summer,
1297. Margaret
Kerr is living in Edinburgh with her uncle Murdoch. She has come to
search
for her long-absent husband, Roger, who is in the service of Robert the
Bruce. Margaret herself is still loyal to the deposed king John
Balliol.
Then terrifying raids and a brutal murder on the Kerr property bring
the
wrath of the English down on the heads of Margaret and her uncle.
The
sudden reappearance
of Roger gives Margaret the chance to escape from Edinburgh. Together
they
make for Perth, but soon she begins to suspect that Roger's newfound
enthusiasm
for their marriage is nothing more than a foil for a mission for Robert
the Bruce. Margaret is troubled and confused, and then her father
returns
from Bruges, bringing trouble and discord in his wake. What was it the
raiders sought from Margaret's property? And what of her mother,
Christiana's,
visions, which all sides are keen to interpret? Can Margaret trust
either
her husband or her father...?
