Lady Margaret Dacre’s inheritance, on the English border with Scotland, is under threat from the “outlaw riders and feuding tribes of England’s last frontier” the border reivers. George MacDonald Fraser, the great historian of the reivers, brings a certain authenticity to a story of life among the lawless territory.

Possibly the gold-standard for the history of the Border Reivers, the lawless clans, the original gangsters, that scratched a living on the border between Scotland and England until the start of the seventeenth century, when James IV and I unified the crowns.
