In 1290, Scotland is without a king. Two families - the Bruces and the Balliols - vie for the throne.Robert the Bruce is in love with Elizabeth de Burgh, daughter of an adherent to the ruthless Longshanks, King of England. In order to marry her and not give up his chances of someday becoming King of Scots, Robert must give up his rebel ways and bide his time as Lonshanks' vassal. But Prince Edward, Longshanks' heir, doesn't trust the opportunistic Scot and vows to one day destroy him.While quietly plotting his rebellion, Robert is betrayed by one of his own and must flee Longshanks' vengeance. Aided by the unlikely brilliance of the soft-spoken, young nobleman, James Douglas, Robert battles for the throne he was born to inherit.Victory, though, is never certain and Robert soon learns that keeping his crown may mean giving up that which he loves most - his beloved Elizabeth.
