This is a fantastic story of intrigue, adventure, and love. The imagery is exquisite, the writing is spot on, and the characters are so dynamic as to jump off the page. This is perfect for a young woman who longs to know of court life in a time of uncertainty, and what it truly was to be a woman in a man's world.
Margaret Fitzroy is a character with whom I can identify. She is strong. She is creative. She doesn't know whose side is really the right one. She takes matters into her own hands, making sure that she not only completes the assignment she's been given, but that she finds the truth at almost any cost.
If I were a woman in the time of the Jacobite resistance, I can only hope that I would have been one as daring and resourceful as Peggy.
