"When 16-year-old Martin Crawford goes out on the moor to hunt rabbits, he suddenly finds himself rescuing a man being pursued by bloodhounds. The fugitive, none other than Robert the Bruce, is Scotland's rightful king. And he wants Martin to be his page and messenger in the war against brutal English rule. It has been 10 years since the legendary William Wallace, subject of the Oscar-winning film Braveheart, was executed for instigating a rebellion. Now as the war gathers momentum, Robert the Bruce finds his swift young messenger indispensable. Hopefully, the same good fortune that brought them together will smile on them at Bannockburn, the battle that will decide the fate of their cause."
