About
France, 1755. William Neilson and his wife Jeanne are happier than they ever expected to be with their family, the adopted orphan Marie-Ange and young William. Yet still they are restless.
Marie-Ange's grace and rich dowry have caught the eyes of princes all over Europe, and Jeanne is determined her daughter shall have a throne, despite her own marriage to a poor Scotsman outlawed in Great Britain. But Marie's heart resides elsewhere.
And William Neilson, still haunted by the loss of his men at the battle of Culloden in 1746, dreams of one last fight to purge his shame.
When war in England breaks out, will the family come together, or will they allow their personal ambitions to tear them apart?
