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 women believe themselves to be the rightful Queen of the West.
One already wears the crown. The other believes it to have been stolen from her. One is a warrior queen whose blade, in single combat, has felled England's two greatest swordsmen.
The other has been a maid servant to a noblewoman, then a guest of the Duke & Duchess of Bo'Ness, then declared the long hidden heir to the Highland throne.
One must face her accusers with an army at her back but an assassin stalking her every move. The other must assert a right to a throne that, simply in its claiming, may well condemn her to death.
Also entwined in the future of Scotland are three men who seek victory in their own particular objectives.
The first man is Constable Ewan Burberry who, navigating the treacherous politics of King James' court, discovers that the trial is merely a façade for something far more dark and sinister.
The second man is the enigmatic assassin Derek Ramsbrook, who prowls the fortress corridors, leaving bodies in his wake.
The third man is the Duke of Inverness who brazenly hides, undetected, whilst in full view.
Destination: Inverness is a novel that weaves together court intrigue, breath-taking combat and supernatural mystery into an unforgettable Highland saga of hope, dreams and inspiration. In it's telling, three groups of people all journey to the common destination of Inverness.
