Content Notes/Warnings: I can't think of anything, except for the kind of typical battle/wartime violence you might find in similar books. And some animal death.
What it is/what’s so great about it: The first in a series of three called "The Jacobite trilogy", this book is an adventure story set in 1745, in Scotland, during the Jacobite rebellion. Its two main characters are a Jacobite supporter and an officer in the English army. At first they seem like complete opposites, but as the story moves forward, they come to respect each other and become friends.
This is a book about honour, loyalty and sacrifice for a cause or a belief. But mostly, it's about fate and unexpected, life-changing friendship. Also, it's truly interesting from a historical point of view, and for anyone interested in nature and landscapes, as it includes beautiful, breathtaking descriptions of the Scottish Highlands.
