Edinburgh, 1297. Margaret Kerr remains loyal to the deposed John Balliol while her husband Roger serves Robert the Bruce, placing their marriage on opposite sides of Scotland's divided resistance. Raids and a brutal killing bring English retaliation to Margaret's property, and Roger's unexplained behaviour makes his apparent concern difficult to trust.

After escaping the city, Margaret is confronted by the return of her father from Bruges and by competing attempts to interpret her mother's troubling visions. She must discover what the raiders sought, how her family's commercial affairs intersect with the rebellion and whether Roger's latest disappearance is intended to protect her or conceal another betrayal.
