Review by Jill Beamis posted on Smashwords:
The price of Scotland’s freedom from the King of England is paid for with blood, sweat and tears of those willing to sacrifice everything for love of country.
***
This is a fast paced adventure story that tells the struggle of those willing to fight to free Scotland from the rule of the King of England in the 13th century. Andrew de Moray is forced to fight for his life and country after he and other key players in the Scottish royalty and military are killed or taken prisoner fighting the English army. Caitrina, who ends up marrying Moray, provides a tender and humanizing balance to the violence of war. This fast paced tale includes descriptions and depth of character that make the reader believe that they are witnessing history as it is happening.
Author J.R. Tomlin researched culture, locations, language and participants to accurately portray events in this well written historical docudrama. The inclusion of strong male and female characters allowed the author to present the struggle for freedom and the personal toll that war in the Middle Ages had on Scotland’s population.
