Six years have passed since the failed Jacobite rising of 1745. Ewen Cameron's quiet life on his Scottish Highland estate is threatened when his loyalty to the Cause again demands that he support a new Jacobite plot. During the course of his adventures, he meets the family of his friend Keith Windham. Ewen's loyalty endangers him, but the danger faced by his cousin Dr. Archibald Cameron is even greater. The book is partly based on historical events. (Summary by Elin)
