Once again Scotland was fighting for her survival as a free and
independent nation.
Robert the Bruce’s legacy, three years after his death in 1329, is in
danger. With a five-year-old heir guarded by an ageing and diminishing
band of lieutenants, the English King, Edward III, has seen his

In the years of struggle that follow, two men stand out as leaders of

than any others to save their country.
Yet something is to happen between them that will cause one of the most
desperate events in Scotland’s violent and dramatic history…
