The Story
In the savage cold of a February night, a company of soldiers obeyed the orders issued by William III to butcher a small branch of Clan Donald living in Glencoe. The tale of Government-sanctioned murder woven into a narrative featuring members of the family Donald. It creates strong characters on both sides of the tragedy which fuses the human costs with the official intolerance of the Scottish Highland clans of the period. Jane Lane has expanded a page of history into an epic in which courtesy and treachery, hospitality and betrayal, love and hate, are manifested by the men and women whose fate brought them together on that tragic winter night in 1692.
