A recounting of a lost gem of Utah pioneer history and a novel to rival those of Gerald Lund with the added wit of a Mark Twain adventure. In 1855, as the young Utah Territory teeters under outside pressure and internal strain, a call goes out to settle the untamed frontier and teach neighboring tribes the gospel of Jesus Christ. William Sterrett—a recent convert, tailor, and devoted husband—has already survived one mission that nearly cost him everything.

Eighteen-year-old James Douglas can only watch, helpless, as the Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace is hanged, drawn, and quartered. Even under the heel of a brutal English conqueror, James' blood-drenched homeland may still have one hope for freedom, the rightful king of the Scots, Robert the Bruce. James swears fealty to the man he believes can lead the fight against English tyranny. The Bruce is soon a fugitive, king in name and nothing more. Scotland is occupied, the Scottish resistance crushed. Yet James believes their cause is not lost.

Who is the Secret Royal? Some say they’re a disgruntled courtier; others that it’s King Charles’ Head of Pens. Perhaps it’s just the Countess of Wessex (as you’ll see they do appear to be close to the late Queen). But then they do have the same cadence as Camilla... Whoever it is they’ve written a rip-roaring diary of 18 months behind the Palace walls, during one of the most tumultuous periods of The Firm’s existence.
