The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter's Tale focuses on the conflict between two brothers, Scottish noblemen, whose family is torn apart by the Jacobite rising of 1745.
Presented as the memoir of Ephraim Mackellar, steward of the Durrisdeer estate in Scotland, the novel opens in 1745, the year of the Jacobite Rising. When Bonnie Prince Charlie raises the banner of the Stuarts, the Durie family--the Laird of Durrisdeer, his older son James Durie (the Master of Ballantrae) and his younger son Henry --decide that one son will join the uprising while the other will join the loyalists. That way, whichever side wins, the family's noble status and estate will be preserved.
