A retired grocer seeking a quiet life in the Scottish Highlands finds himself protecting a kidnapped heiress from a ruthless international gang. With the help of a spirited group of local scouts, he transforms from an ordinary man into an unlikely hero. This atmospheric adventure blends rustic charm with the tension of a modern kidnapping plot.
This dark, corrupt world threatens to drown me. While the Institution is fracturing, I am certain of only one thing—the brothers. They’re mine and I’m theirs. We’re going to survive no matter the cost. I won’t let it be any other way. I can’t… I’ve learned that it’s adapt or die, and I’m embracing it. For them. For me. Yet, just when we should be more united than ever, the brothers are breaking apart. Egos. Schemes. Drugs. Complications that threaten to poison us all. We should be fighting the world, not each other. There’s no longer a line I won’t cross to keep them safe. At one point, I thought my only choice was to be a victim or an accomplice. To save them—to be their hero, I will be the villain.Ver livro

Margaret Oliphant Wilson was born on 4th April 1828 in East Lothian in Scotland but spent her childhood in Midlothian, Glasgow and Liverpool. She wrote from a young age and in 1849 had her first novel about the Scottish Free Church movement, a cause her parents sympathized with, published. Her next, ‘Caleb Field’, a couple of years later, led to a lifelong association with Blackwood Magazine to which she contributed more than a 100 articles and reviews. In May 1852, she married her cousin, Frank Wilson Oliphant, an artist working in stained glass, and settled in Camden, London. Together they had six children but tragically three died in infancy. Unfortunately, Frank developed tuberculosis and so they moved in January 1859 to Florence, and then south to Rome, where he died. Margaret was devastated and was left with the burden of supporting herself and their three children. She returned to England and with her prolific literary work increased her commercial reputation and the size of her reading audience. Margaret worked tirelessly to sustain her popularity with her supernatural tales and historical fiction. Unfortunately, her family life continued to be fraught with tragedies due to the further death of her one remaining daughter, financial ruin for her alcoholic brother and unfulfilled ambitions for her two sons followed by their deaths in 1890 and 1894. She had settled in Windsor near Eton where her sons had been educated in 1866 and was buried there following her death on 25th June, 1897. Despite the short time she lived in Scotland, much of her writing displays strong connections in terms of settings, themes and its oral tradition. Margaret was admired for her range of supernatural tales, which resonated with her fascination for the afterlife and given her own experience, provided a sense of comfort to those grieving. In this story a family’s return from India to Scotland is soon brought to a state of tension when their fragile son experiences hallucinations. The pursuit of the truth brings many consequences.Ver livro
