When Robert the Bruce becomes King of Scotland, his daughter, Marjorie, becomes a princess. Unfortunately, her father's claim to the throne makes Bruce and his family - including Marjorie - targets of the ruthless Edward Longshanks, King of England. And then it happens: the new princess is captured and imprisoned in a wooden cage in the center of a town square, displayed like an animal in a zoo. She suffers from exposure to wind, rain, rude taunts, hurled garbage - the scorn of Longshanks himself! Marjorie is a proud young Scot and proud of her father. She will do whatever she must to defend her heritage and stand up to Longshanks' pitiless humiliations. After all, a princess is a princess, whether in a castle - or in a cage.

In 1920s Scotland a foreign dignitary on a secret visit has been abducted by men who plan to murder him. Veteran adventurer Richard Hannay must recruit three of his oldest friends to prevent a catastrophe that could plunge Europe into another war. It is a mission none of them ever expected to undertake, for the man they must rescue was once their sworn enemy - the Kaiser. As he and his allies pursue a desperate chase through the Highlands, Hannay discovers that he has stumbled upon an international conspiracy, one that shockingly involves a member of the British royal family. In Castle Macnab Robert J. Harris, bestselling author of The Thirty-One Kings, has created a new adventure for Richard Hannay and a sequel to John Buchan's classic novel John Macnab.
