    About this ebook

    The year is 1317, and relations between Scotland and England are strained.

    Will is from Melrose, Scotland, where his father has been telling him heroic stories of fighting the English. Filled with enthusiasm, he runs away from home and joins a raid into England.

    After crossing the border, he is attacked and left for dead, but is found and brought back to health by a village girl, Rachel. But she is English...

    It isn’t long before Will is falling for Rachel, but at the same time, he senses a plot to assassinate King Robert of Scotland. What will he do now, torn between the girl he loves and the King he worships?
