Jane Seton; or, The King's Advocate: A Scottish Historical Romance

Set against the turbulent reign of James V, the story follows a young Edinburgh provost who has risen to become the king’s advocate, a trusted envoy caught between the fierce ambitions of the Scottish nobles and the looming presence of England. His diplomatic skill and fierce loyalty thrust him into courts filled with rival clans, secret pacts, and the lingering threat of civil war. Amidst the clashing swords and diplomatic intrigue, he encounters a fierce and enigmatic lover whose devotion challenges his sense of duty.

The narrative weaves authentic historical detail—battles such as Flodden, the stark Highland landscape, and the lingering legends of ancient castles—into a vivid romance that feels both grand and intimate. As alliances shift and betrayal whispers through stone corridors, our advocate must decide whether to champion the crown, protect his family’s legacy, or follow the relentless pull of his heart. The early chapters establish a world where honor is tested, love ignites, and the future of Scotland hangs in balance.
