John Buchan's First Full-Length Work of Fiction

John Burnet and Captain Gilbert Burne are two young noblemen, one the heir to the house of Barns, the last in a long line of Border reivers, the other a dashing, ruthless soldier. Their lifelong rivalry leads to treachery, betrayal, and murder.

This classic work, originally published in 1898, is here being republished together with a new introductory biography of the author.
