Rebellion - Mark Ellott

Britain, 1745. A nation stands on the brink of rebellion.

As Prince Charles Edward Stuart prepares to reclaim the throne for his exiled father, the Jacobite Rising gathers momentum in the Scottish Highlands. Clans muster, loyalties are tested, and the fate of a kingdom hangs in the balance.

Into this volatile world steps Ewan McLeod-soldier, spy, and reluctant agent of the Crown. Fresh from the battlefields of Europe, he is sent north on a dangerous mission: infiltrate the Jacobite cause, uncover its strength, and report on the movements of the Young Pretender. To succeed, he must return to the land of his birth and the people he once called his own.

Among the clans, suspicion runs deep. Old ties are rekindled, but trust is fragile. As Ewan is drawn further into the rebellion-fighting alongside men who might once have been his brothers-he faces an impossible choice between duty and loyalty.

From the windswept Highlands to the march south into England, Rebellion brings to life one of Britain's most dramatic and tragic uprisings. Rich in historical detail and driven by compelling characters, it is a powerful story of honour, betrayal, and the human cost of civil war.
