About this book

Two brothers—one charming and wicked, one dutiful and cold—are set against each other by the Jacobite rising of 1745, beginning a ruinous feud that pursues them from Scotland to America and ends in the frozen wilderness. Stevenson's dark masterpiece is a brooding tale of hatred, obsession, and the ambiguity of good and evil, narrated by a loyal servant caught between the warring siblings. Rich in atmosphere and moral complexity, The Master of Ballantrae ranks among his finest and most haunting novels. A Gothic-tinged adventure of divided loyalties and the destructive power of enmity, it showcases Stevenson's gift for character and the shadows of the human heart.
