The Scottish Kirk was in conflict with the King of England, and by 1666, the king's soldiers were given lists of the names of Scottish Covenanters to hunt down and persecute. The story focuses upon Will Wallace, who begins searching for a defiant Protestant before joining the "hunted and harried" himself. 249 pages, cloth-bound hardcover, smyth-sewn binding, gold imprinted cover.

Please Note: Ballantyne sometimes describes events in a graphic manner. Parents may wish to preview.

The executioner was about to obey when a noise was heard at the door of the Council Chamber, and a cavalier, booted and spurred and splashed with mud, as if he had ridden fast and far, strode hastily up to the Duke and whispered in his ear. The effect of the whisper was striking, for an expression of mingled surprise, horror, and alarm overspread for a few moments even his hard visage. At the same time the Bishop of Galloway was observed to turn deadly pale, and an air of consternation generally marked the members of Council.
