The first historical novel--this tale of romance and adventure during
the 1745 Jacobite rebellion will stir the blood and warm the heart
King George is on the throne, but there are those in Scotland who swear
loyalty to the Stuart heir, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and are prepared to
stake his claim in conflict and bloodshed. Young Edward Waverley is
caught in the middle: son of a Hanoverian yet nephew and heir to a
Jacobite, captain in the King's army yet drawn to the brave Highlanders
and their romantic history. Edward must choose where his loyalties lie,
even as his heart is torn between gentle Rose Brewardine, and the
passionate, principled Flora MacIvor.
