The story is told through David Elliot who is 57, frustrated, out of work and has three failed marriages behind him. When he finds himself out of work in 2007 he goes to the borders of Scotland hoping that his ancestry will help him find some validation of his life.

Accompanied by his daughter, son-in-law and his beloved grandson Thomas, he finds that his bloodline leads his family into terrifying danger.

700 years of history threaten those he holds dearest as myth and reality of "The Bloodiest Valley in Britain" combine.

The corruption of the rich and powerful meets legend as Good and Evil clash over the lust for the ancient Throne of Scotland and power in the modern world.

William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Border Reivers, creatures of supernatural horror and past heroes of the Elliot `Clan' are all involved as the evil Lord William de Soulis actions his plan to assume power over an unsuspecting world.

All that stands against him is a family fighting desperately to protect a child.
