Rob Roy

Young Frank Osbaldistone would rather write poetry than traffic in ledgers. But when his merchant father banishes him to the wilds of Northumberland to learn the family business at his uncle’s crumbling manor, Frank finds himself plunged into a world of intrigue, rivalry, and a forbidden romance with the brilliant Diana Vernon. Before long, stolen documents, a treacherous cousin, and the looming Jacobite rebellion force Frank to flee into the Scottish Highlands. There he crosses paths with the legendary Rob Roy MacGregor – outlaw, clan chieftain, and a man who lives by his own fierce code. With the help of the bluff Bailie Nicol Jarvie and the steel of Highlanders who bow to no king, Frank must unravel treachery, rescue the woman he loves, and choose where his true loyalties belong. This faithful modern retelling of Walter Scott's classic sweeps from smoky Edinburgh taverns to misty glens, capturing all the danger, honour, and romance of the original. Part of Timeless Classics.
