Rich in historical detail, this novel captures the turbulence of the Scottish Reformation while weaving a tale of loyalty, ambition, and national identity.Woodstock takes place in the aftermath of the English Civil War, focusing on the Royalists’ plight after the execution of King Charles I. The story centers on Sir Henry Lee and his household as they navigate the tension between Royalist supporters and the new republican government.
