Two young Englishmen plan to abduct the infant Scots Queen from Stirling Castle. The executioner's scaffold awaits them if they fail. The times are dangerous. Scotland is unstable, heretic England fears invasion from Catholic Europe. Headstrong Meg Douglas offers help but secretly works to secure her own reward. Minor characters are beautifully portrayed in this romantic adventure; the anxious Dowager Queen of Scotland, fearful for her child's safety and a subtle negotiator in a man's world; Lord Lennox, keen to make the best marriage he can amidst changing allegiances and ambitious nobles; and that bull of a man, Archie Douglas, sixth Earl of Angus, desperate for a son from his pregnant, teenage wife. Best of all is Matho, the likeable, rather diffident young Englishman who meets the love of his life on his first important mission.
