We join Claire in the difficult task of convincing her daughter of the truth of her parentage. With a side order of trying to save a life, only to realise it isn't her place to play god. Bonnie Prince, indeed! In her attempt to share the truth with Brianna, Claire recounts the uprising of 1745. Of course seeing is believing... 

The pacing of this book is quite slow and of course it is very long. I strongly urge reading these books in the hardback format. it will seem to go by faster owing to the larger page size.
