About this ebook
Espionage and intrigue light the fuse of rebellion in medieval Scotland for sleuth Margaret Kerr. “ This is history as it should be told” (Good Book Guide).
In late summer 1297, Margaret Kerr heads to the town of Stirling at the request of William Wallace’s man James Comyn. Her mission is to discover the fate of a young spy who had infiltrated the English garrison at Stirling Castle, but on the journey Margaret is haunted by dreams—or are they visions?—of danger.
He who holds Stirling Castle holds Scotland—and a bloody battle for the castle is imminent. But as the Scots prepare to cast off the English yoke, Margaret’s flashes of the future allow her to glimpse what is to come—and show her that she can trust no one, not even her closest friends.
A Cruel Courtship is a harrowing account of the days before the bloody battle of Stirling Bridge, and the story of a young woman’s awakening.
