A Daughter of Raasay: A Tale of the '45
A Daughter of Raasay: A Tale of the '45
The year is 1745. Across the Scottish Highlands, the Jacobite cause stirs like wildfire, and men are dreaming of a restoration that could topple a dynasty. Into this volatile world steps Kenneth Montagu, a young man whose greatest enemy is not the Redcoat regiments marching northward but his own reckless passion for the gaming table. In a single night of cards, he loses his family's fortune, burdening his younger siblings with ruin through his folly. But redemption arrives dressed in rebellion and romance. Drawn into a conspiracy to restore the Stuart line to the throne, Kenneth finds himself battling not just for his honor but for the life of Aileen, a young Scottish woman held captive by the villainous Sir Robert Volney. MacLeod Raine writes with the muscular energy of an adventure story, yet tempers it with genuine tenderness. The result is a novel that captures both the raw thrill of the '45 and the intimate stakes of two hearts caught in the maelstrom. It is for readers who want history as lived experience: bloody, romantic, and pulse-quickening.
