Publisher's Summary

1719, the Highlands of Scotland

The Jacobite rising has failed. The Stuart king remains in exile in Italy, leaving Clan Gregor’s dreams of restoring their name and lands unattainable.

In despair Alexander, chieftain of the Loch Lomond MacGregors, hopes that his young but gifted son Alex will one day restore the clan’s fortunes.

Yearning to please the father he loves, Alex embarks on a gruelling education which at times seems senseless to him. He hopes to one day exceed his father, becoming a cultured and influential chieftain, who can win battles both with words and weapons.

Clan life has always been dangerous and even more so for the MacGregors. A series of brutal events strikes at the heart of the family and threatens the clan’s very existence.

Can Alex, still a child, somehow save the clan and those he loves or must he turn his back on them and forge his own future?

Great introduction of Alex !

I enjoyed this listen! Great introduction of Alex, excellent look into his childhood and the events that helped to shape the man. I will most likely listen to this one again. I highly recommend it.

An incredible work : addictive

This is a richly, woven story for all of us who appreciate literature at its finest . Intrigue , history, romance , superbly accurate research , characters to fall in love with , to despise , to inspire . The narration is second to none with infinite detail to the accents and pronunciation . Prepare to get swept away in an epic series
