After ascending to the throne at a young age, and ruling Protestant
subjects while personally practicing Catholicism, Mary, Queen of
the Scots was hardly given a chance to be an influential leader.
Other rulers, and sometimes her own subjects, looked down on her
for her religious differences. Which is why, Queen Mary's
relatives, her Protestant subjects, and Lady Lochlevan locked her
in Lochlevan castle at their first chance. Having been raised in
solitude, and often sent away for extended stays the castle, Mary
had little patience for her imprisonment. Stuck there with her
ladies-in-waiting, Mary bides her time, planning an escape.
Meanwhile, Roland Graeme, a young man with mysterious origins
visits the castle and immediately falls in love with Catherine,
Mary's lady-in-waiting. However, the love affair grows complicated
when Roland gets into a feud with Catherine's twin brother. While
Roland struggles with his feelings, Catherine and Mary plan a
daring escape, recruiting the help of a surprising ally. Sequel to
