Beyond the friendship - 2
Set twenty years after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, Amelia Fraser finds herself entangled in the secrets and schemes of her family. Her father, James Fraser, now runs a printing business in Edinburgh-but beneath the surface, his work extends to smuggling illicit whisky and distributing underground newspapers that challenge the Crown. Amelia is no stranger to danger, joined by her loyal friend Fergus, her spirited cousin Ian, and a few old allies-men she once knew during her time in prison. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of rebellion and survival in a Scotland still haunted by its past. But everything changes when a ghost from Amelia's own past appears on their doorstep-her mother, long believed to have died twenty years ago. As the truth unravels, Amelia must confront long-buried secrets and make choices that could alter her path forever. Amidst the turmoil, her bond with Fergus begins to shift. Could their friendship grow into something more, or will the weight of their shared struggles hold them back?

Two since the Lowlanders rescued their princess while failing to free their country, waging a winter's war. One since the princess went into hiding and the Scots sent envoys to Cymru, hoping to secure aid against their common enemies. Her country in ruins, her fighting men few, Fiona McCurragh nonetheless finds courage as the Lowlanders return from Cymru. As winter thaws into spring, the Danes renew their hunt for the Scottish princess, nearly discovering her and the Scots' newfound Cymreig allies. The Scots, forced to play their hand, retaliate by launching their third war against their invaders. Yet the elder son of Chieftain McCladden and Fiona McCurragh soon realise that not all battles are won with men and spears; some are of the heart. In an unforeseen act of treachery, Fiona is captured and held prisoner at Caerloch Castle, awaiting torture and execution. Meanwhile, the Lowlanders and the Cymry find themselves faced by Lady Nuith's innumerable hosts and beyond the reach of the silent Highlanders.
