Born of one of Scotland’s noblest families, Patrick Gray was fascinating, irresistible, ambitious and ruthless. Involved in a daring plot to free the imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots, and immersed in the intrigues of Elizabeth I’s Tudor court, he strode imperiously across the turbulent stage of European history, crushing those who resisted his legendary charm.
The great events of the sixteenth century provide a colourful backdrop to this stirring tale of love, adventure and betrayal.
