A Trust Betrayed: The Margaret Kerr Series - Book One

â€œThirteenth-century Edinburgh comes off the page cold and convincing, from the smoke and noise of the tavern kitchen to Holyrood Abbey under a treacherous abbot. Most enjoyable.â€ â€•THE LIST

In the spring of 1297 the English army controls lowland Scotland and Margaret Kerrâ€™s husband Roger Sinclair is missing. Heâ€™d headed to Dundee in autumn, writing to Margaret with a promise to be home for Christmas, but itâ€™s past Easter. Is he caught up in the swelling rebellion against the English? Is he even alive? When his cousin, Jack, is murdered on the streets of Edinburgh, Rogerâ€™s last known location, Margaret coerces her brother Andrew, a priest, to escort her to the city.

She finds Edinburgh scarred by warâ€•houses burnt, walls stained with blood, shops shutteredâ€•and the townsfolk simmering with resentment, harboring secrets. Even her uncle, innkeeper Murdoch Kerr, meets her questions with silence. Are his secrets the keys to Rogerâ€™s disappearance? What terrible sin torments her brother? Is it her husband she glimpses in the rain, scarred, haunted? Desperate, Margaret makes alliances that risk both her own life and that of her brother in her search for answers. She learns that war twists love and loyalties, and that, until tested, we cannot know our own hearts, much less those of our loved ones.
