This novel, while fiction and, as such, may at times strain at dates and take small liberties with the personalities of historical personages, will, nevertheless, endeavor to be true to the actual events as they occurred. It is woven around the life and times of one Robert Bruce, (1274-1329), originally Robert de Bruce, called Robert the Bruce, Earl of Carrick, and King Robert I of Scotland. The main character, however, is the fictional William Stirling, whose life is strangely linked to that of Robert the Bruce.
It is my great hope that you, dear reader, will reap some of the excitement I experienced while researching and writing this tale. Unfortunately, the scenes of brutality are products of those times and without which, the true telling of this tidbit of history would not be possible.
