Finally Fyreback settles into a proper job. Bringing rough justice
to all who are oppressed in these troubled times, and the Law such
as it is, has no legal jurisdiction. He learns a few extra skills
on the way, diplomacy doesna t seem to be one of them, but be sure
his Cleaver plays ita s part. Will this be the wind down to a
stable married life and family. Again who can say, now possessing a
Wife and Child with another to yet be born, peace and quiet will
return to the Border with a new Monarch to rule both Scotland and
England under one Crown, but that is still a few years ahead.
Towards the latter part of the 16th century, the power held by the
Catholic Church in Scotland was to be wrested from Rome and
replaced by the reformed movement of Protestantism. Various methods
of coercion were employed to recruit converts, accusations of
witchcraft and direct aggravation against the Catholic
establishment were common ploys. When Fyreback's family becomes
embroiled in this reformation, it becomes personal. Once again the
cleaver sings its anthem of death, this time to protect the rights
of the common man.
The Anglo Scottish Border in the 16th century was the most violent
period of British history. A young boy's quest for revenge on the
killers of his family sees him blackmailed into the role of hired
assassin. This is the story of how he attains his goal.
