Description

The life of a young law student, Darsie Latimer, is thrown into disarray when he is kidnapped by a man named Hugh Redgauntlet. Taken to an unfamiliar village, Darsie is reunited with his sister, and soon realizes that Redgauntlet is his uncle. Unclear of his uncle's motivations, Darsie notices the presence of many prominent members of the Jacobite movement in the community, including the face of the party, Prince Charles Edward Stewart. Meanwhile, Darsie's friend, Alan Fairford sets out to rescue him, unaware of the situation he is soon to enter. After further discussion and investigation, Darsie finds out that Redgauntlet kidnapped him and summoned the Jacobites in order to amass a small army. Determined to start a third Jacobite uprising in Scotland, Redgauntlet tries to convince Darsie of his cause, and attempts to arouse morale and confidence among the movement members.
