The narrative centers on Mary, Queen of Scots, who faces imprisonment in Lochlevan Castle due to her Catholic faith amid Protestant subjects. As she plots her escape with her ladies-in-waiting, a love story unfolds between Roland Graeme and Catherine, Mary’s attendant, complicated by familial conflict. This historical adventure novel, a sequel to The Monastery, showcases strong character portrayals and rich settings, blending romance, betrayal, and action. The newly designed edition enhances accessibility while preserving Scott's literary mastery.
