Description
While Munro risks his life daily in the army of the French King, the spectre of discovery by William Cunninghame haunts his wife Kate. Her fears for their children and her absent husband are realized as William’s desire for revenge tears their world apart.
Clan feuds, skullduggery, and medieval warfare abound in this turbulent tale of 16th century Scotland and France. A sweeping tale of compassion and cruelty, treachery, and sacrifice, A House Divided is set against the backdrop of a religious war, feuding clans, and the Great Scottish Witch Hunt of 1597.
