Blurb: 
Tranter continues the story of Scotland"s King James V begun in his novel The Riven Realm. James, whose father, James IV, died when he was a baby, is 12 years old when this tale begins. For the warring nobles, control of the boy-king is a much sought after prize. Still, one man, David Lindsay, remains faithful to his king and seeks to protect him from those who would keep him prisoner while ruling in his name. Later, when James reaches his majority, David tries (not always successfully) to keep the impressionable young man from heeding the advice of some of the more unscrupulous courtiers. As in his other works, Tranter writes knowledgeably of the intricate and often brutal politics of the era.
