It is the year 1758. In the midst of the Seven Years' War, Great Britain fights alongside its allies in the Rhineland. For Lord John Grey and his brother Hal, the battlefield is a welcome respite from the complicated situation facing the family, which threatens to ruin their honor. Seventeen years earlier, Lord John's father, the Duke of Pardloe, was found dead with a pistol in his hand. After that alleged suicide, rumors spread accusing him of being a Jacobite traitor. Now, the ghosts of the past haunt the Greys in a very mysterious way: Hal has received a page from one of his late father's diaries, but the boy, who has his own secrets, refuses to investigate further and begs his brother to do the same. Frustrated, Lord John embarks on a complicated investigation and enlists the help of the man who has been his prisoner and confidant: the Scottish Jacobite James Fraser, who will reveal the missing piece of this amazing puzzle... Caught between his duty and his conscience, Lord John will have to decide whether it is worth risking his life in exchange for the honor of his family.
