About this ebook
Once described as “a tale of adventure and betrayal on the long bloody road to Culloden Moor,” A Lost Lady of Old Years is set in Scotland during the Rebellion of 1745. Young Edinburgh-born Francis Birkenshaw cares nothing for the Jacobite cause until an encounter with the beautiful Mrs. Margaret Murray leads to a dangerous involvement with her husband, John Murray of Broughton, Bonnie Prince Charlie’s secretary and an infamous turncoat . . .
