And the wake of the riots that sweep through the cities of Scotland, Maisie's own sister Isabella is branded a traitor to the crown, and the family must flee to the Highlands. Overnight, Maisie loses Niall, her friend, and her home. When Niall's sister is arrested and disappears, he quickly realizes his life is not his own, for the British authorities have a mission for him to accomplish in exchange for his sister's freedom. Soon, however, he finds in Maisie the heart he longs for. Their relationship begins as one of experience versus idealism, of scars versus hope. In saving his sister when a protest turns violent, he meets Maisie. A fierce warrior by training and a poet at heart, Niall walks away from the shining career that lies ahead of him, to the dismay of his superiors. Niall Campbell, a hero of the wars, a decorated officer of the Royal Highland Regiment, is battle weary and searching for stability in his life. In the wake of the Peterloo Massacre, Maisie and a friend found the Edinburgh Female Reform Society, and she carries the banner for universal suffrage. To her activist friends, however, she's a fearless crusader for women's rights. Maisie Murray is the picture of docility, quiet and compliant in the eyes of her family.
