Reviews
"Exciting, dangerous, fascinating." -- The Boston Globe "[Dunnett's] hero. . .is as polished and perceptive as Lord Peter Wimsey and as resourceful as James Bond." -- The New York Times Book Review "Vivid, engaging, densely plotted. . . . Dunnett is a master of suspense and misdirection." -- The New York Times "A masterpiece of historical fiction." -- The Washington Post "[Lymond] is arguably the perfect romantic hero." -- The Guardian "Dorothy Dunnett is one of the greatest talespinners since Dumas . . . breathlessly exciting." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "Dunnett is a name to conjure with. Her work exemplifies the best the genre can offer." --Christian Science Monitor "Ingenious and exceptional . . . its effect brilliant, its pace swift and colorful and its multi-linear plot spirited and absorbing." --Boston Herald "Dunnett evokes the sixteenth century with an amazing richness of allusion and scholarship, while keeping a firm control on an intricately twisting narrative. She has another more unusual quality . . . an ability to check her imagination with irony, to mix high romance with wit." --Sunday Times (London) "A very stylish blend of high romance and high camp. Her hero, the enigmatic Lymond, [is] Byron crossed with Lawrence of Arabia. . . . He moves in an aura of intrigue, hidden menace and sheer physical daring." --Times Literary Supplement (London) "With shrewd psychological insight and a rare gift of narrative and descriptive power, Dorothy Dunnett reveals the color, wit, lushness . . . and turbulent intensity of one of Europe's greatest eras." --Raleigh News and Observer

Synopsis
Combining all the political intrigue of Game of Thrones with the sweeping romanticism of Outlander , Dorothy Dunnett's legendary Lymond Chronicles have enthralled readers for decades and amassed legions of devoted fans. In the series' stunning conclusion, Francis Crawford of Lymond leads an army against England--and a final fight against the enemies that would like nothing more than to see this resilient Scottish rogue, and all that he loves, permanently vanquished. It is now 1557 and Lymond has returned to France to marshal forces in the Scottish struggle against England. But even as he attains brilliant success on the battlefield, his haunted past becomes a subject of intense interest to both sides. For whoever knows the secret of Lymond's parentage possesses the power to control him--or destroy him. With his country, his family, his great love, and his very life at stake, it's time for Lymond to make his final moves.
