Synopsis

A wronged woman's voice is reclaimed in this gripping tale of revenge and romance – a medieval Gone Girl.

Highland Scotland was no place for a woman in the early 1500s. Life was turbulent and short, battles were waged, and sisters and daughters were traded as pawns in marriage. Catherine Campbell was one such young bride, betrothed to Lachlan Maclean and sent from her fine home to join him on the Isle of Mull, to bear his sons and heirs

.But Lachlan proved to be nothing like the man of Catherine's dreams, and she was forced to resign herself to enduring life with him for the sake of duty. Until the day when he threatened to take away the one thing she couldn't sacrifice: her daughter.

Casting a fascinating light on the ruthless Highlands, this sweeping drama by one of Scotland's best-loved novelists explores love, ambition and betrayal and highlights the precarious position of 16th-century women
