Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flight_of_the_Heron "The Flight of the Heron" by D. K. Broster is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of 1745 Scotland, the story explores themes of loyalty, superstition, and the turbulence of clan politics during the Jacobite uprising. The novel particularly focuses on Ewen Cameron, a young Highland chieftain, and his interactions with friends and foes alike as the impending conflict looms on the horizon. At the start of the novel, the lush Scottish landscape is vividly described, providing a serene yet foreboding setting. We are introduced to Ewen Cameron, who is swimming in Loch na h-Iolaire when his foster-brother, Lachlan, approaches with warnings stemming from a vision about a heron, perceived as an ominous sign. Disregarding Lachlan's fears, Ewen insists on sparing the heron, reflecting his typically daring character. The narrative swiftly shifts as news of the Prince's arrival in Scotland ignites excitement and potential conflict, intertwining the fates of the characters. This opening sets the stage for a tale of romance, betrayal, and the harsh realities of political allegiances in a time of upheaval.
