Patrick Vernor's Choice in a Covenanter War
Patrick Vernor, eldest son of John Vernor, joins King Charles's dragoon forces during the Covenanter wars in Galloway. He confronts his father’s murder by battle, encounters his brother Duncan, and faces his preacher brother Robert and Isobel Weir in a tense conventicle capture. The tale ends with Patrick branded a traitor by family and foes as his fate hangs on a grim verdict.
