Book description
Edinburgh, 1297. Margaret Kerr, fiercely loyal to the deposed king
John Balliol, has come in search of her absent husband Roger - a man
in the service of Balliol's enemy Robert the Bruce. But terrifying
raids and a brutal murder bring the wrath of the English to Margaret's door.
Roger's sudden disappearance enables Margaret to escape from the
city, but she soon suspects that his new-found concern is nothing more
than a charade. 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's visions, which all sides are keen to interpret? Who can
Margaret really trust in these troubled times...?
Candace Robb has read and researched medieval history for many years,
having studied for a Ph. D in Medieval and Anglo-Saxon Literature. She
is the author of nine Owen Archer novels and three Margaret Kerr
Mysteries.
