The story is set in 14th century Scotland during the tumultuous period following the English invasion led by Edward I. It centers on the figure of Sir William Wallace, a nobleman who resists English oppression and embodies the struggle for Scottish independence. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the aftermath of Edward I's conquest of Scotland, which has left many nobles in a state of despair and submission. Wallace, disillusioned with the surrender of his fellow Scots and the subjugation of his country, retreats to the glen of Ellerslie with his wife, Marion. Their once blissful life is shattered by the reality of oppression, pushing Wallace toward a path of resistance. As the story unfolds, the tension escalates when Wallace is thrust into conflict after defending a fellow Scot, leading to dire consequences that will test his resolve and honor.
