Irish tale, full of conflict between the laird and his tenants, as told through the eyes of sixteen year old Alistair.
It’s 1884 and the population of Skye is already greatly depleted by the Highland Clearances, and likely to suffer more from absent landlords and their greedy factors.
Alasdair Stewart finds himself caught up in the rebellious activities of the menfolk, as they fight to keep their homes and their traditional way of life. But all actions have consequences as Alasdair finds out to his cost.
Why is it that all their plans seem to be known to the authorities? Is there a traitor among the rebels? Doesn’t the landlord want peace and prosperity for the land? Hidden for days in the wildest and most remote part of the island it looks like there is no hope for the people of Skye, until the landlord’s proud and spirited daughter chances upon their hideaway with near fatal results…
