Overview

In 1715, the Earl of Nithsdale is sentenced to be beheaded for his part in the doomed Jacobite rebellion for Scottish independence. In 1978, Jane Maxwell is plagued with doubts about her engagement. When tragedy leaves her fiancé Will near death, Jane's guilt makes her determined to save him ... somehow. On a desperate and dangerous quest to find some answers, Jane finds herself trapped in the past. Convinced that saving Nithsdale will also save Will, Jane embarks on a daring plot to rescue the Earl from the Tower of London. In the tradition of Diana Gabaldon, past and present become entwined in a gripping race against time, and both will be changed by one woman's determination.
