Book excerpt: From the author of The Last Testament comes the true love of Bonnie Prince Charlie, her adventures in America and her lasting legacy. In the page-turning popular genre trail-blazed by Antonia Fraser and Phillippa Gregory, The Pretender’s Lady, Alan Gold’s meticulously researched novel, accurately opens history’s pages on a peerless woman who helped change the course of history and whose legend lives on in Scotland today—Flora MacDonald. She was the most famous Scotswoman of her day, single handedly saving Bonnie Prince Charlie. This is her fictionalized life story—her relations with the Prince, her flight to America, Ben Franklin’s influence, and her return to Britain to lobby for peace But what’s hidden from history, revealed now for the first time in Gold’s dazzling new work of fiction, is the result of Flora’s and Charlie’s love: a beautiful and talented boy raised on an American farm. But only she knows his true heritage and his claim to the world’s greatest throne. And only the genius of Ben Franklin understands how to use this naïve boy to change the history of America.

Far to the west, on an island in the Outer Hebrides, twenty-four-year-old Flora Macdonald is woken in the dead of night by a messenger with urgent intelligence. Bonnie Prince Charlie is outside, begging for her help. With Flora's assistance, the Stuart prince is disguised as an Irish maid and smuggled to the Isle of Skye, evading government troops. Flora's bravery and determination will see her immortalised in ballads and proclaimed a Scottish heroine. But her efforts also result in her capture and detention in London. Released the following year and returning to Skye, Flora goes on to marry and emigrate to North Carolina, only then to be caught up in the American Revolutionary War. In Pretty Young Rebel, award-winning biographer Flora Fraser tells the remarkable story of Flora Macdonald. It is a tale of adventure and daring, wit and charm, struggle and survival, and of a woman who showed extraordinary courage in the face of great danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a nineteenth-century Britain shaped by magicks both ancient and new, three uneasy heroes find themselves caught in the plots of a foreign nation, with their lives—and loves—at risk... Sophie Marshall, Princess Royal of Britain and the only woman student at Oxford, wants nothing more than to learn without constant scrutiny. When her husband, Gray, is invited to teach shapeshifting in more equitable Alba, she leaps at the chance for more freedom. Still, Alba has problems of its own, warns Joanna, her sister who’s apprenticing in statecraft: famine, unrest, and divisive news to come. And Sophie isn’t the only scholar with secrets. The Marshalls’ delight in exploring a lively, cosmopolitan university community is shadowed with rumors no one will discuss: of clan upheavals, strange powers from the land, blights on crops and livestock. When she and Gray are forced to separate, Sophie questions even her own suspicions. But once Joanna arrives in Alba with her mercurial friend, Gwendolen, the danger is past doubting. Armed only with subtlety, cleverness, and outrageous daring, the women will have to travel through a hostile countryside, find Gray, and root out a conspiracy that threatens their survival—and Alba’s future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 18th century shotgun weddings were not unusual, but in most cases it wasn't the bride that was holding the gun. So began the stormy marriage between Lord and Lady Grange, a marriage which was to end with Lady Grange's death on the Isle of Skye after 13 years in exile. The daughter of a convicted murderer, Lady Grange's behaviour, such as her fondness for drink, was so outrageous that her sudden disappearance from public life was not considered surprising. But few knew the true story of her disappearance. This book reveals, for the first time, how the unfortunate lady was violently kidnapped and transported to the remote islands off the west coast of Scotland, spending seven years on the island of St. Kilda. Condemned to a very different lifestyle than she had enjoyed in Edinburgh, and baffled by the strange tongue of the Gaelic West, she still obstinately survived, finally dying in Skye in 1745.
