The eagerly awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Munro Scottish Saga trilogy

‘…fast-paced … a hugely satisfying read.’ Undiscovered Scotland.

1598. The French Wars of Religion are drawing to an end, the Edict of Nantes establishing religious freedom in all but Paris.

For the exiled Adam and Kate Munro, the child Kate carries symbolises a new life free from past troubles, despite their lingering nostalgia for Scotland and the friendship of the Montgomeries.

When Adam foils an attempt on the French king’s life the whole family are called to court. But religious tensions remain high, and Paris holds dangers as well as delights.

For the Munros and Montgomeries alike, these are troubled times…

Praise for Margaret Skea – Beryl Bainbridge Best First Time Novelist 2014

‘More down-in-the-dirt than Diana Gabaldon and just as meticulously researched as Philippa Gregory. It’s touching, fierce and surprising, with a sprinkling of humour.’ The Bookbag

‘A rollicking good read … Skea is definitely a name to watch out for.’ Scottish Field Magazine

‘The quality of the writing and the research is outstanding.’ Jeffrey Archer

‘The sheer villainy of some characters will take your breath away.’ Historical Novels Review
