Catriona Robertson has what 18th century Scottish Highlanders call Second Sight. It's not all that rare, but in her family it's been fatal. After having a vision of her brother's life-changing accident at the Games at Blair Castle, then watching in horror as it comes true, her family starts to believe in her powers. Cat needs to find a way to harness her "gift" and heal her mother's debilitating disease, but fate seems to have something else in store. When the Pretender to the Scottish throne, the Jacobite Prince Charles, decides to seize his rightful place from the Hanoverian King George, her powers are put to the ultimate test. Cat becomes an unwilling liaison between her clan Chief and the Prince, foretelling the outcome of each battle of the Rising of 1745. Though warned of the outcome of their participation in the fight, her father and brothers are drawn into it as if by malevolent forces. Unwilling to let her visions of death come to fruition, Cat does everything in her power to keep them out of harm's way, finding herself thrust into the very heart of what she fears the most."
