Synopsis:

​

Isla Macleod has lived almost her whole life in Scotland under English rule. As suppression of Scottish culture increases, she knows she needs to rebel, at least in a small way. When she meets Ewan Fraser, though, she takes the first steps down a path that will lead to danger for herself, her family, the man she loves, and the Highland culture she cherishes.

​

Can Isla build a life with Ewan, or will the forces of suppression and the community’s whispers pull them apart?

​

This story is told in twenty-four installments, each filled with letters, church records, recipe cards, maps, proclamations, and other documents. It pulls readers into the heart of Highland culture in the 1750s, when even a hint of rebellion could lead to harsh consequences and the ties within clans were unbreakable.
