Summary

The fourth book in the enthralling series following the fascinating lives of Beth and Alex Macgregor, their family and friends. 

It is 1745 and the rebellion that the Jacobites have worked towards for so many years is finally under way. Prince Charles is in Scotland gathering the clans and they are rising, ready to fight and if necessary, die for him.  

At his prince’s command, Alex, trapped by his own success as a spy, reluctantly remains in London with Beth. His clansmen, meanwhile, head north to join the rebels. Desperately unhappy, the couple try to convince themselves that their role is crucial to the cause, but hope that Charles will relent and allow them to leave London and join him. Their wish is granted, but not in the way they expect, and soon they find themselves fleeing for their lives. 

In the meantime the Jacobites are gathering strength and heading south, winning decisive victories along the way. It seems that Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his followers will finally achieve their desire to regain the throne of Great Britain for King James. But the Duke of Cumberland is determined not to let his father be toppled from the throne by a bunch of heathen savages, and returns from Flanders to lead the Hanoverian army against them. Soon Beth and Alex find themselves at the heart of one of the most brutal civil wars Britain has ever seen, one which will put both their lives and relationship in danger, and which will change the history of Britain forever.

Join the rebellion of Beth, Alex, and the Macgregors as they fight for justice and freedom in the Jacobite Chronicles.

Excellent story and narration

Very engaging story, following Beth and Alex through the glory - and horror - of the Jacobite rising of 1745-46. The depiction of both the joy and the terror plaguing the Jacobite army is well-described and, when telling the story of Culloden and its direct aftermath, the story well explains the emotions and drags the reader through them too. Well worth a listen as it brings a vast array of emotions during the story: enjoyment, love, grief, anger and horror.

Narration continues to be excellent - the duo works very well together.

Superb series

I chuckled through much of the book but cried during the horrors of Culloden. The characters are so engaging that their lives, loves and deaths moved me greatly, Brilliant narration.

Not as slick as the other books in the series

A good story but rather choppy and not as slick as the previous Jacobite Chronicles books. Hideous narration with some of the worst Scottish accents I’ve ever heard in an audiobook (imagine an over the top Radio 4 or SNL Outlander parody) just killed this book for me to the point where I’m probably not going to finish listening.
