description: At the Battle of Culloden, Donald Fraser stands in the rain with his Highland regiment, ready to die for Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Stuarts. Approaching their lines across the damp Scottish moorland come England’s redcoats and among them Major Rupert Astley. In their minds, both men think not of their Kings’ causes but instead of a woman, the same woman.  Bound by their love of Bab, sister and wife, the two men’s fates are intertwined: from Culloden to London, through forgiveness and vengeance, whether as patriots, traitors, heroes or villains, they are destined to both play their parts in their country’s futures.  At the heart of their story is a tragedy – that the wars between England and Scotland created borders, divided communities and turned brother against brother.  The first in Juliet Dymoke’s Blood of Culloden series and one of the author’s most acclaimed novels, The White Cockade is a tale of loyalty and love, mists and mythologies, redemption and hope – and extraordinary courage.  For fans of Diana Gabaldon, Sharon Penman and Dorothy Dunnett.
