The Jacobite's Daughter: The first story in the Code of Honour Trilogy Kindle Edition

by Lorna Windham (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 94 ratings
1745. Highland lass Morag McColl is deeply in love with Euan Stewart, the Laird’s son. When Euan and his brothers leave to join the Jacobite Rising, Morag runs away with the baggage train in order to be near him. While Euan fights for the Cause on bloody battlefields, Morag is drawn into a world of secrets and spies, intrigue and injustice.
On the run from the brutal redcoats, Morag is also in constant danger from those from both sides of the conflict who want to use her for their own ends. Will this brave lass ever find happiness with her true love?


Full of passion, intrigue and rip-roaring adventure, the novel is set in the years of the Jacobite rebellion 1745-46.
The heroines are four strong women: Morag McColl, Lady Anne of Kerbilly, Kirsty Lorne and Alais. Their feisty relationships with four Stewart brothers: Euan, Rob, Johnnie and Duncan are explored.
The novels are set in the beautiful West Highlands of Scotland near Loch Linnhe, a hotbed for Jacobitism (followers of James II) in the early 18th century.
Each book (this is the first in the Code of Honour trilogy) focuses on the romantic relationship between one woman and a brother, though Duncan is only a young boy. The author, Lorna Windham visited the Highlands where the book is set, researched the facts over several years and wove fiction round them, deciding to write about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.

    You always remember the first book you read on Kindle... and I will remember this one. The Jacobite's Daughter, a captivating and passionate adventure by the superb writer Lorna Windham. From the moment I entered the pages of this powerful novel it was impossible to put down. Set during the years of the Jacobite Rebellion, I followed the story of Morag McColl the feisty heroine and her turbulent relationship with Euan Stewart. I also found myself caught up in the absorbing world of, 'secrets, spies and intrigue'. The talented author has given her readers a brilliant glimpse into this historical period. Naturally, I am looking forward to devouring the rest of the trilogy and would recommend the book as an outstanding read.

    Loved reading this book. Apart from being interesting and informative from the historical point of view, the characters are so well written that they felt real and I couldn't help feeling involved in their lives. I probably read the book too quickly because I couldn't put it down (!), so I'm very much looking forward to reading the next two books in the trilogy.

    The story has so much potential – two women spying for the Jacobite army in the 1745 Rising. In spite of this I’m afraid I’ve found the book somewhat naïve and predictable, the characters not very complex. I did not find it passionate.
    I love Scottish history but unfortunately this novel I didn't find absorbing or captivating.

    I love to read about the rebellion of the '45. This is a well written story of clan Stewart. Torn apart from the 2 sides of conflict. Spying, battles, love, betrayal. Can't wait for the next book in the series. Loved the strong heroine and the love of her life. Euan was wonderful too.
