In 1745 the Highlanders limped away from the bitter field of Culloden.
Soon the Duke of Cumberland was offering a huge sum for the capture of
Prince Charles Edward Stuart, dead or alive.
Duncan MacGregor, great-nephew of Rob Roy, volunteers to join the small
band of men escorting the Prince to safety.
Just one day after the Prince's escape, a large amount of French gold is
landed at the very spot from which he has sailed. Thus it is that
Duncan becomes involved in a desperate attempt to save Prince Charlie's
gold, helped by beautiful, headstrong Caroline Cameron.
The final volume in Nigel Tranter's thrilling MacGregor trilogy, which
charts the 18th-century fortunes of Rob Roy and the MacGregor clan,
loyal supporters of the Stuart cause.
