About this book

Deep play at the gaming table, a young gentleman's estate at risk, and a schemer named Volney set the first scene of this historical romance by William MacLeod Raine, which then carries its characters into the Jacobite rising of 1745. Chapter titles name Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the battle of Culloden.

Raine's foreword says he kept to the recorded history, and that he drew on Horace Walpole's Letters and on the Chevalier Johnstone's account of the rebellion. The book was illustrated by Stuart Travis.
