Publisher's Synopsis
Imagine Queen Elizabeth I never ruled. England and Scotland never unified. It's 1845 and the two countries are again at war. The war is over. With peace finally dawning between England and Scotland, the two countries can lay down their arms and face the future. Clara has already sacrificed more than she would have thought possible to secure a brighter future for her country. All she wants is to settle into her new life, but danger still lurks. Murgatroyd remains at large, and Clara is the only person who truly understands the danger he represents. On her own, she cannot stop the devious lord. But reaching into her past to secure help from an old friend threatens everything Clara has gained. To stop Murgatroyd, Clara must make an agonising decision between past and future, putting her very life at risk.
