Publisher Description
Scotland: AD 1297
Two heroes. One nation. United in the fight for freedom.
In the spring of 1297, the two great Scottish heroes meet in Ayr: William Wallace, legendary champion of the common man, and Robert Bruce, who would perfect the guerrilla warfare developed by Wallace and use it to cement his place in history as Scotland's greatest king.
Each is determined to defy the ambitions of England and its malignant king, Edward Plantagenet, whose lust to conquer and consume the realm of Scotland by blood and fury is unyielding. Their anger is about to unleash a storm that will last for sixteen years.
From Jack Whyte, the master of the sweeping historical epic, comes the continuing story of two heroes who changed the entire destiny of Scotland by defying the might and power of the king of England.

Uprising
An excellent book about the start of the wars of independence and Scotland’s struggle to be free from the tyranny of England following the death of Alexander III. It finishes after the battle of Stirling Bridge and before the parliament held in Selkirk forest where Robert Bruce knighted William Wallace
Unfortunately the series ended there. And I have been waiting in hope for Mr. Whyte to pick up his pen and continue the story and adventures of Father Jamie Wallace either until the Battle of Bannockburn or later, until the “peace” with England in 1328
