After Culloden

Scotland, 1746. The Jacobite dream lies bleeding on the moor of Culloden, and the English Redcoats are burning the glens to ash.
Robert MacAllen and Duncan MacDonald—two hard-drinking, harder-fighting Highlanders from Wick—never asked to be heroes. All they wanted was one quiet night at the inn, a dram of whisky, and to forget the faces of the men they lost. But when English dragoons start throwing their weight around, insults turn to fists, fists turn to steel, and suddenly the two friends are outlaws with a price on their heads.
Now, hunted across a land crawling with patrols, Robert and Duncan must outrun, outwit, and outfight the full might of the Crown just to see home again. Snow-choked mountains, treacherous bogs, and clans torn between surrender and defiance stand in their way.
Then fate deals a wilder hand: they stumble upon Anna Johnstone—fiery, fearless daughter of a powerful laird—kidnapped by renegades who answer to none but gold. Rescuing her was never part of the plan, but Highland blood runs thicker than caution. One reckless act turns fugitives into legends overnight, rallying broken clans to their banner and painting an even bigger target on their backs.
Their final road leads straight to the lair of the ruthless Duke of Montrose himself—the iron-fisted architect of Scotland's ruin. What begins as a desperate flight for survival explodes into an all-or-nothing fight for everything the Highlands still hold dear: freedom, family, and the right to stand tall on their own soil.
In a world where loyalty is punished and honor can get you killed, two men refuse to kneel.
