In 1651, a fatally wounded Scottish trooper is found by an English
patrol. Before he takes his last breath, he reveals the details of
a major plot being hatched against Scottish leaders and English
generals within Clarke Castle-the same castle where many kidnapped
Scots are being held.
Luke Tremayne and his sergeant, Andrew Ford, have just arrived
in Oban, Scotland, via the English republic's newest man-of-war,
the fifty-four gun Providence. As the warship remains anchored in
the sea loch, Luke and Andrew come ashore to receive details of
their mission from their new ally, David Burns, a man of
considerable wealth and passion for his cause. After Burns briefs
Luke on the Scots' three political groups, six assailants press up
the stairs to Burns' chambers and deliver a pouch that contains a
coded message. Luke soon discovers that he must not only rescue the
prisoners at Clarke Castle, but also must uncover the local
leadership of this organization created by the King.
As Scottish leaders plot and murder their way to a solution,
Luke becomes embroiled in a conspiracy to murder the political
elite and quickly finds out that an ally is not who he appears to
be.
