Scotland, 1622. Two queens. One throne. One or two imposters?
Janine had lived her life as a servant, with no memory of her true identity. Having fled brutality, she found sanctuary at 'Brech Woorlach', an impressive mansion where she has never been, but that is bafflingly familiar to her. When magical flames appear and combat skills surface that she had never learned, she discovers a truth that could shatter kingdoms.
Meanwhile, the warrior Queen Annis battles enemies on all sides, unaware that her greatest threat may not be the Campbells who seek her death, but a revelation that will force the Highlands to choose between two contenders for the crown. As Constable Ewan Burberry races to Inverness to press charges of treason on both pretenders to the throne, a dead monarch's desperate plan begins to unravel. Are both or neither of the pretenders guilty of treason against King James?
In a world where memory is a weapon and identity a battlefield, loyalty will be tested, blood will be questioned, and the Scottish Highlands will never be the same.
