The Phoenix And The Laurel

In this portrayal of the first Jacobite, John Grahame of Claverhouse, Jane Lane presents the violence and colour of rebellion. Grahame, a man devoted to duty, casts ambition aside to stand alone for his King and lead the Highland clans to an astounding victory at Killiecrankie. From the quagmires of treachery and self-interest, the heroic soldier is described in this vivid glimpse at one man's determined genius and bravery in the face of cruelty and destruction.
