For the Good of the Cause

ebook

A bold fictionalisation of the events that inspired The Skye Boat Song. Young Flora MacDonald is no Jacobite rebel or admirer of the fugitive leader, Bonnie Prince Charlie. But when the dishevelled prince turns up at her family's home, hunted by government troops following the failure of the 1745 uprising. Despite witnessing his darker side, Flora agrees to help him try to escape the pursuing soldiers. During the attempt, Flora comes to understand what fuelled the Jacobite rebellion, and what led to its disastrous conclusion at Culloden.
