The Gryphon at Bay

Bag om The Gryphon at Bay

Summer, 1489... It is a year after the old king’s death, and his son now sits upon the throne. Hugh, 2nd Lord Montgomerie has achieved great things in this short time. He’s been granted a place on the Privy Council, and given authority in the King’s name throughout Lennox and the Westland. Success is a double-edged sword. The old king’s murder has left its scars and there’s rebellion in the Westland. Now Montgomerie must choose between his king and loyalty to his kinsmen, the Darnley Stewarts, treading a dangerous path between pragmatism and treason. Closer to home, he is challenged by his old rivals the Cunninghames. The feud between the two warring families intensifies, with tragic consequences. And the time comes for three women, drawn together by their hatred of Montgomerie, to plot revenge. As Montgomerie sees the world turn against him, just one ally remains: John Sempill of Ellestoun. But Ellestoun may have his own agenda. Will he stand by his so-called friend, or seek retribution for past injustices...
