'Ethnic cleansing' at work in the Borderlands! This story is based on the recorded historical facts of the longest and most violent blood feud of 16th century Scotland.
Follow the adventures of four young men caught up in the extreme politics of late 16th century Scotland, when King James VI (and later to be James I of England, the so-called ‘wisest fool in Christendom’) played out a masterly solo game of chess, using the Riding Names of the West March as pieces, in preparation for his final solution to the problems of the Anglo-Scottish Border.
