Lady's Rock cover

In Lady's Rock, a young bride's struggle for survival leads to a gripping tale of revenge and empowerment set in 16th-century Scotland.

In Lady's Rock, the story unfolds in the tumultuous landscape of Highland Scotland during the early 1500s, where the life of a woman was often dictated by the whims of powerful men. Catherine Campbell, a young bride, finds herself caught in a web of duty and expectation after being betrothed to Lachlan Maclean. Forced to leave her comfortable home and embrace a life on the Isle of Mull, Catherine soon realizes that her dreams of a loving marriage are far from reality. Lachlan proves to be a man of harsh temperament, and she must navigate the treacherous waters of a marriage that feels more like imprisonment than partnership.

As Catherine endures the trials of her new life, the stakes rise dramatically when Lachlan threatens to take away her most cherished possession: her daughter. This pivotal moment ignites a fierce determination within Catherine, pushing her to reclaim her voice and seek vengeance against the man who has wronged her. The narrative weaves a rich tapestry of love, ambition, and betrayal, showcasing the lengths to which a mother will go to protect her child.

Lady's Rock not only captivates readers with its gripping plot but also sheds light on the precarious position of women in the 16th century. Through Catherine's journey, the novel explores themes of resilience and empowerment, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and tales of revenge.

'Lady’s Rock draws a tale from one of the dark corners of Scotland’s history and re-tells it in a way that is absorbing and vividly imagined. Clan feuds, love and betrayal, violence and vengeance – and all set against the peerless backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. Who can ask for more?'
