Set against the backdrop of 16th-century religious strife between Catholicism and Anglicanism, the story explores the lives of two families, the Glendenning's and the Avanel's, as they navigate grief, rivalry, and love.

Sir Walter Scott's evocative narrative captures the turmoil of the era, centered around the fictional Melrose Abbey, while blending romance, humor, and theological conflict. This edition enhances accessibility for modern readers.
