Synopsis

Though weakened by the crushing defeat of his army at Bannockburn, estranged from the English nobility and financially crippled, King Edward of England stubbornly refuses to relinquish his claim to the Scottish throne and to recognise Robert Bruce as King of Scots.Determined to force the hand of the enfeebled Plantagenet King, Robert Bruce sends the Earl of Carrick, the Earl of Moray, Sir James Douglas and the men of Scotstoun to raid and pillage deep into England and Ireland to diminish the power of their enemy and to strip away the wealth of England so that Scotland can be strengthened.Though wounded and beset from all sides, the Plantagenet King will not be so easily defeated. Through determination, guile and hard-headed obstinacy, King Edward resists the Scottish King through two full decades and raises one army after another in order to frustrate Robert Bruce and bring Scotland back under English rule.John Edward and the men of Scotstoun are at the centre of this epic, dynastic struggle and stand shoulder to shoulder with their countrymen on battlefields on Scottish, Irish and English soil. They must set aside their dreams of peace once again and attempt to win liberty and nationhood through brutal, bloody struggle.
