This volume includes three novels of mystery and intrigue in thirteenth-century Scotland from the acclaimed author of the Owen Archer series:
In A Trust Betrayed, Margaret Kerr searches for her missing husband after his disappearance in Edinburgh, but finds that the simmering rebellion has turned the ruined city into a web of lies and hidden motives that threaten anyone who digs too deep for the truth.
In The Fire in the Flint, Margaret and her family become the target of a series of violent raids, but what the raiders are looking for remains a mystery. As Margaret becomes more deeply involved in the rebellion, attention turns to her mother, a seer who has had visions of the "true king of Scotland."
In A Cruel Courtship, Margaret heads to Stirling Castle on a mission to discover the fate of a young spy for the rebellion. As her travels bring her closer to the castle, however, she begins to have dreams-or are they visions?-of impending danger. The historic battle of Stirling Bridge is nearing, and the fate of Scotland rides on the outcome...
Praise for the Margaret Kerr novels:
"With meticulous attention to historical details, from the soup Margaret eats to her characters' plaid clothing and the language they speak (there's a helpful glossary), the author lovingly re-creates medieval Edinburgh."- Publishers Weekly
"Robb's captivating blend of history and mystery vividly evokes medieval Scotland."- Booklist
"A satisfying read, full of interesting detail about the life and times in Scotland in the 13th century."- Aberdeen Press & Journal
Together, these stories offer a richly detailed and beautifully written account of medieval Scotland and a young woman's awakening.
