Scotland, the Highlands, 1552  "That was the day our greatest betrayal", the old seanchaidh said. Among the fifteen small faces upturned toward his, some of the children nodded solemnly. Their bright and dark heads gleamed in the low light of the peat fire. Chapter 1, Scotland, the Highlands, Summer, 1563 "Aaarrghh! Missed him, the son of a snake!" Splashing through the water, scrambling over slick rocks, the girl gained steadier footing. Staring intently into the stream, she swore again, and the airy Gaelic oath sounded like a prayer. | |

But our Chief is as stubborn as the rest of you. None of you will listen to me. Marry that MacDonald, you say, and save the clan from fire and sword. But I will not wed Ruari. The day is cursed that the offer was ever made. Is it enough to stir the Highland blood in you, then? After all, you are laird of Dulsie Castle in Kinail My cousins, the Kerrs, are good citizens of her majesty Queen Mary Stewart. This land belongs to the MacDonald clan! By hell it does! This stream is on Fraser land, and well you know it! You wear neither plaid nor plant badge. You look like a Lowlander, even a Sasunnach. Though your Gaelic, when you choose to speak it, is pure as any Highlander's. The Gordon clan is in disgrace now, their titles and lands forfeit to the crown.....The cocks o' the north, the Gordons are called, but they have been brought low.....Gordon's plan to abduct Queen Mary and marry her to one of his sons was an embarrassment to the whole Scotland. Watch out for her Droch Shuil, her Evil Eye! The Campbells are the royal lieutenants in the western Highlands. They will negotiate with the MacDonald chief. How is it that Elspeth has a Gordon for a brother? Elspeth's father, Simon, married a Gordon's widow, who had a young son. | |
