Old Mortality, Volume 2. by Walter Scott

"Old Mortality, Volume 2." by Walter Scott is a historical novel published in 1816. This continuation plunges deeper into Scotland's turbulent Covenanter uprising of 1679. Henry Morton faces impossible choices between his love for Royalist Edith Bellenden and his reluctant alliance with rebel forces. As religious extremism intensifies on both sides, Morton navigates factional disputes among the Covenanters while witnessing their crushing defeat at Bothwell Bridge. Scott weaves together romance, political conflict, and the tragic consequences of fanaticism in a nation torn apart by opposing beliefs. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
