Son of Scotland

After the great victory at the Battle of Bannockburn, the King of England barely escapes capture by Thomas Randolph, yet he continues his war to claim Scotland as his own. As King Robert the Bruce fights to force the English to the peace table, his brother Edward leaves to be crowned High King of Ireland. Deep in both violent frays, Thomas may not survive to see his beloved Scotland truly free.

Thomas Randolph, the Earl of Moray, rides with the King as they drive the last English invaders from Scotland, but Robert the Bruce is beginning to fail. His time is running perilously short. The earl knows that he must broker peace with England before the King dies, otherwise the English will surely seize the opportunity to invade.But even as Thomas negotiates in France for allies, he must hedge against time, and returns to lead his army into England to counter new English aggression. The legacy of his King, confidante, and friend falls upon him alone, and the slightest misstep could lose forever Scotland's newly restored freedom.

Scotland, 1306. Young Thomas Randolph is thrilled to swear fealty to the rightful King of Scots, his uncle, Robert the Bruce. But when the Scots are defeated in battle, he is taken prisoner, one among many to be executed under the Dragon Banner. Saved from execution by a friend, he must swear fealty to King Edward or betray the man who saved him. With no choice, Thomas serves the English, but his heart is with Scotland. Now whatever he does, Thomas will be a noble traitor.
