Gray Pendray has worked in Edinburgh as a spy for the Scottish Privy Council for three years. When the Earl of Argyll foments an uprising against the king, Gray returns home to infiltrate the rebel army. Faith Cameron is the daughter of a man executed for treason and a mad mother who took her own life. Fostered into the Pendray family, she has longed for Gray's return, though she realizes she isn't a suitable match for the son of a noble family. Gray is immediately drawn to Faith whom he discovers has grown into a beautiful and courageous young woman—but he has made commitments to the daughter of his mentor in Edinburgh. Can love find a way to overcome the divide between them and triumph over the dangers and betrayals of a rebellion?
