About this book
Jane Seton, or The King's Advocate is a Scottish historical romance by James Grant, first published in 1853. Set in Edinburgh in the reign of Mary Queen of Scots, it draws on a real and grim episode of witchcraft accusation and legal intrigue, weaving around it a tale of love, revenge, and political danger in a city torn by faction. Grant fills the story with the closes and courts of old Edinburgh and the customs of sixteenth century Scotland, moving his characters through duels, plots, and narrow escapes. It is a vigorous example of the historical adventure that was hugely popular in the Victorian age. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete novel.
