John Grahame, called ‘Bonnie Dundee’, was the Jacobite hero. Although devoted to duty, he casts ambition aside to stand alone for his King and the Stuart dynasty in leading the Highland clans to an astounding victory at Killiecrankie in 1689.From the quagmires of treachery and self-interest, the heroic soldier is described in this vivid glimpse of one man’s determined genius and bravery in the face of cruelty and destruction. In this portrayal of the first Jacobite, John Grahame of Claverhouse, Jane Lane presents both the violence and colour of Jacobite rebellion.'I read Jane Lane's books with mounting admiration for both their content and style...Merging fact and fiction into essential truth, she has produced novels of quite extraordinary emotional power and exciting narrative pace.’ – Author John Prebble
