"Thirteenth-century Edinburgh comes off the page cold and
convincing, from the smoke and noise of the tavern kitchen to
Holyrood Abbey under a treacherous abbot. Most enjoyable." --The
List In the spring of 1297 the English army controls lowland
Scotland and Margaret Kerr's husband Roger Sinclair is missing.
He'd headed to Dundee in autumn, writing to Margaret with a promise
to be home for Christmas, but it's past Easter. Is he caught up in
the swelling rebellion against the English? Is he even alive? When
his cousin, Jack, is murdered on the streets of Edinburgh, Roger's
last known location, Margaret coerces her brother Andrew, a priest,
to escort her to the city. She finds Edinburgh scarred by
war--houses burnt, walls stained with blood, shops shuttered--and
the townsfolk simmering with resentment, harboring secrets. Even
her uncle, innkeeper Murdoch Kerr, meets her questions with
silence. Are his secrets the keys to Roger's disappearance? What
terrible sin torments her brother? Is it her husband she glimpses
in the rain, scarred, haunted? Desperate, Margaret makes alliances
that risk both her own life and that of her brother in her search
for answers. She learns that war twists love and loyalties, and
that, until tested, we cannot know our own hearts, much less those
of our loved ones.
