1581, Edinburgh. Running from his new responsibilities as head of the family in St Andrews, young lawyer Hew Cullan arrives in the capital of mediaeval Scotland. There he plans to publish his late father's book and endure the completion of his legal training under an old family friend. Life in the whirl of Edinburgh is full of danger and distraction. Beautiful women, fashionable living and the treacherous world of the law threaten to turn Hew's head. But a brutal murder and hints of a long-hidden mystery draw him into a deadly game against an unrepentant foe. When the game is murder, can Hew Cullan play to win?
