About this listen

1719, the Highlands of Scotland

The Jacobite rising has failed. The Stuart king remains in exile in Italy, leaving Clan Gregor’s dreams of restoring their name and lands unattainable.

In despair Alexander, chieftain of the Loch Lomond MacGregors, hopes that his young but gifted son Alex will one day restore the clan’s fortunes.

Yearning to please the father he loves, Alex embarks on a gruelling education which at times seems senseless to him. He hopes to one day exceed his father, becoming a cultured and influential chieftain, who can win battles both with words and weapons.

Clan life has always been dangerous and even more so for the MacGregors. A series of brutal events strikes at the heart of the family and threatens the clan’s very existence.

Can Alex, still a child, somehow save the clan and those he loves or must he turn his back on them and forge his own future?

The Jacobite Chronicles main series and this side book are excellent and beautifully written. I love that there is both a male and female narrator for the story as it makes it come alive, and gives a better visual of the characters in my mind, than listening to one narrator read all parts. Will M Watt has narrated all the books so far and is absolutely brilliant at the different accents.

I love these books in both written and audible form. The author is amazingly talented at writing a rich story where the reader becomes invested in the characters so much it's difficult to put the books down if you're reading them, or to stop listening to the audio books. it's always just one more chapter!

If you've not read/listened to this series and are looking for books similar to Outlander I can promise you that you will really enjoy them. In fact I prefer this series as it's more concise and doesn't waste chapters on trivia that doesn't move the story along.

Fantastic series and narration
