After surviving the Battle of Culloden in 1746, young Hughie Mac Kim swears a blood oath to avenge the murder of his brother. Trained as an infantryman in Fraser's Highlanders, Hugh joins the Army himself and follows the trail across the horror of war in North America, through to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in September 1759.

But how can he trace the men in the anonymous ranks of the British Army? The principal historical frame is Battle of Culloden, Seven Years’ War. The novel connects the suppression of Jacobitism with Britain’s global war against France, showing how Highland military service could follow directly from political defeat at home.
