Book description
With the heir to the throne murdered, King Robert III a sick weakling,
and his remaining son a child, Scotland and the Stewarts were in a bad
way three generations on from the great Bruce. But two young men stood
out: Alex Stewart, bastard son of the notorious Wolf of Badenoch, and
his cousin, Brave John of Coull, a son of the hated regent. With their
fortunes are entwined those of Sir Jamie Douglas, through whose eyes the
story is told.
