Catriona
by Robert Louis Stevenson
“To save a life, he must risk his future; to win his heart, he must defy a kingdom.”
Fresh from his brush with death, David Balfour finds himself caught in a web of political conspiracy and high-society peril in the heart of 18th-century Scotland. As he risks everything to save a friend from a wrongful execution, he must navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties while falling for the spirited daughter of a legendary highland outlaw.
