Sinopse
Moll, the old witch, prophesies the future of Adam, the nineteen-year-old boy whose parentage is shrouded in mystery. A strange talisman which he wears around his neck is his only heritage, and he deplores his red hair and small stature. When Sir Hector Keith, finding him in the garb of a despised Jacobite, demands that he assume the role of Lord Bellcastonborough, he is dismayed; and he is struck dumb with amazement when that same devilish officer of the king compels him to marry the gloriously beautiful Barbara MacGregor...
Thus in the stirring period of the Jacobite uprisings does Farnol set the stage for this memorable swashbuckling tale!
Indeed, Georgette Heyer and Jeffery Farnol invented the genre of Regency romance and adventure.
