This is the first volume of the new BORDER-trilogy, a series of historical romances set in medieval Scotland. Captured in 1388 in the act of stealing back his own cattle, young Sir Walter Scott faces hanging, then gets one other choice - to marry immediately his captor's eldest daughter, the lady Margaret Murray, known by all as Muckle-Mouth Meggie. With the line between England and Scotland shifting daily, the Murray family is caught in the middle, shifting its alliances to try to survive. Uncertain whether she is English or Scottish and abruptly married to Sir Walter who is staunchly loyal to the cause of Scottish independence but who also has promised he'll never take up arms against her family, Meg Murray learns two things: first, Wat's word is his bond; second, her favourite brother is spying on Douglas for Hotspur.
