註釋Set during the Napoleonic War, The Ross Family Chronicles: Highland Betrayal is filled with explosive action, unparalleled anxiety, tragedy, and mayhem. A series of unforeseen, catastrophic events forever alters the simple lives of Tom and Maggie Ross, a Highland family from Nigg, Ross-shire, Scotland. Rape, an unwanted pregnancy, and mental instability plague Maggie after she is left to fend for herself without Tom, who is fighting in the war on the continent. Meanwhile, Tom and his best friend, Red MacKenzie, are confronted with a desperate will to survive, not only in the bloody war, but also in a battle of wits against two psychopath soldiers from a rival regiment who are on a mission to kill them. Circumstances cause both Tom and Maggie to commit acts which create unforgivable secrets -- secrets they will take to their graves. Will their family survive? A novel laced with love, hate, war, murder, and above all, betrayal, book one of The Ross Family Chronicles is difficult to put down once the first page is turned.
