In the turbulent Scottish Highlands of 1622, two young women are summoned by King James to the Fortress of Inverness to answer charges of treason. Both believe themselves the rightful Queen of the West. One already wears the crown—a warrior whose blade has felled England’s greatest swordsmen. The other, a former maid servant, has been declared the long-hidden heir to the throne.
As one faces her accusers with an army at her back and an assassin on her trail, the other must claim a crown that may condemn her to death. Their fates entwine with three men: Constable Ewan Burberry, who discovers the trial is a façade for a dark conspiracy; Derek Ramsbrook, an enigmatic assassin stalking the corridors; and the Duke of Inverness, who hides in plain sight.
Destination: Inverness weaves court intrigue, breath-taking combat, and supernatural mystery into an unforgettable Highland saga of hope and betrayal as three factions journey toward a final, deadly confrontation.
