Publisher's Summary
It's 1546, and Scotland is under attack from Henry VIII, determined to marry his son to the infant Mary, Queen of Scots. A few among the Scottish lairds are eager for this alliance, too. They kill Cardinal Beaton, who is Mary’s great protector, and take St. Andrews Castle, expecting rescue any day from England.
Local lad Will is among them, fighting for the Protestant cause. His treasonous activities place his family in grave danger, forcing his sister, Bethia, into an unwelcome alliance. As the long siege unravels, Bethia and Will struggle over where their loyalties lie and the choices they each must make - to save their family, or stay true to their beliefs and follow their hearts.
This debut novel closely follows the historical events of the siege of St. Andrews Castle, and its dramatic re-taking.

Historical story with drama
I really enjoyed the book. The reader's Scottish accent was well maintained, and characters were well delineated throughout. The historical background was interesting and fairly true to what is known of the period.
Looking forward to the next book in the chronicles.

Not a fan of this reader. Voice sounds bored. Sound also very hollow at times.
