The flight of the heron by D. K. Broster
"The Flight of the Heron" by D. K. Broster is a historical novel first published in 1925. Set during the Jacobite rising of 1745, it follows an unlikely friendship between Ewen Cameron, a Highland chieftain fighting for the Jacobite cause, and Keith Windham, an English officer in the Government army. Brought together by fate and a heron's flight, these men on opposite sides find their destinies entangled through capture, escape, and impossible
choices between duty and loyalty in war-torn Scotland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
