The excitement of battle coalesces with some narrow escapes and some wonderful well-pitched gems of historic info as events are shaped into some cleverly constructed twists. There's some blood (it would be daft if there wasn't) but it's not that gruesome considering the brutality of the period.
If you'd like a bit of historic historical fiction to read in the sun that offers intellectual enrichment without us having to work for it and, just as importantly, with a narrative that refuses to talk down to us, look no further: you've found it.
If you've enjoyed this and want to read more about 16th century Scotland, we also recommend [[Turn of the Tide by Margaret Skea]]. You might also enjoy [[The Tournament by Matthew Reilly]].
