The loyalties he once took for granted have shifted, and the bride he dismissed now stands at the heart of Strathloch.

Content Warnings: Public hangings, period-appropriate violence, emotional infidelity, referenced stillbirth, betrayal/treachery within the clan, emotional cruelty, and themes of loyalty, duty, and power imbalance.
