THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER PERFECT FOR FANS OF OUTLANDER The
true story of one of Scotland's most notorious and romantic heroes.
He was a spy, a clan-chief, a traitor. A polyglot, a deserter and a
man of philosophy. Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, was the last of the
great Scottish chiefs - and the last nobleman executed for treason.
In life, his wit, ambition and dubious sense of morality kept him
in the thick of political intrigue. With a taste for risk and
determined to make his fortune, Lovat made pacts with Catholics and
Protestants, Scots and Englishmen. Lovat found his famous end a
turncoat and a martyr: he threw himself in with the '45 rebellion
and fought for Prince Charles against the crown. His execution in
Tower Hill, at the age of 80, was the last of its kind. Lovat was
one of Scotland's most notorious and romantic figures: a man whose
loyalty had no home, whose sword had a price. This is the
swashbuckling account of his life, and a brilliant portrayal of
nation in revolt.
