Dougal MacDonnell is a highland warrior who just happens to
hear the thoughts of other men and sometimes has prophetic
dreams. Dougal, his father, brothers and country men were
fighting the English in April 1746. During the heat of
battle Dougal tunes out the voices he hears until there is
one so very familiar to him. It's his father and he is
dying. Dougal fights to get to his father but is unable to
save him. The battle is a landslide in favor of the English
and Dougal is knocked unconscious. Once awake Dougal can't
hear any of his family and he realizes that he is bound and
now a prisoner of the English.
The journey from Scotland is harrowing. The prisoners are
loaded up in the bottom of ships for the travel. They
don't see daylight, are barely fed and are living in
their filth. Many succumb to illness and death. The
farther away from Scotland some men change and one night a
few men attempt two rape two young men. Dougal and his new
friend John put a stop to it and become their bodyguards.
Once they reach the encampment the two young men Aiden and
Joseph who are small and wily begin secretly digging a
tunnel to escape, they invite Dougal and John to join them.
Unfortunately, during the escape only Aiden and Dougal
make it. The two journey to London where Aiden sings for
their supper and then they continue on until they find a
small abandoned cabin where they find a way to begin anew.
Both are content and become best friends. Then one quiet
day Aiden is attacked and Dougal's reality is shattered.

woman? Glenna is terrified when she is revealed to Dougal.
