As a shoemaker, no one thought to include Patrick Lindsay when gathering forces to fight for Prince Charlie. Though eventually included as an afterthought, Patrick is nonetheless warmed by the soldierly camaraderie—and perhaps a glass or two too many of whisky. But is following the crowd a good thing?

Grabbing his chance to prove his bravery, Patrick’s trusting nature led him to his death on Culloden’s battlefield. With Soni’s offer of a second chance to prove his worth, Patrick is plunged deep into the past where he will question what he believes about himself and the world around him.
